Like they say in the military: NEVER volunteer for anything.

I also heard it was like this:

Why run when you can walk?
Why walk when you can just stand still? Why stand when you can sit?
Why sit when you can lie down?
Why just lie there when you can sleep?

I heard it as for the army, but I think it can validly apply to any branch of  the service.

Also heard it as:
Never pass up an opportunity to eat, or to sleep, as you never know when the  next chance will come.
