Extraordinary as it may seem, but when my Company Havildar Major was haranguing me about how something could not be done when I was commanding a post on the Line of Control because it was raining, I yelled at him, out of exasperation and hopelessness, and told him to stop the rain!

He saluted me and walked out and popped back immediately saluting smartly and reporting that he had stopped the rain!

I walked out and indeed, the rain had stopped!

God, sometimes, listen to Havildar Majors!
