SMILE A WHILE

The one who thinks our jokes are poor,
Would straightaway change his views,
Could he compare the jokes we print
With those we couldn't use.

Definition of marriage: An institution which teaches a man patience, thrift, morality and many other splendid virtues he wouldn't need if he'd stayed single.

***

The guys were discussing the point system of demobilization and things were pretty noisy when the sergent yelled ... "At ease, I want it so quiet in here that we can hear a point drop."

***

If you take somebody's life ... it's a sin,
If you take somebody's wife ... It's a sin,
If you drink or smoke or chew,
If you take what's not your due,
The with HEAVEN you are thru ... it's a sin.
If you play around with dice ... it's a sin,
If you indulge in a bottle of vice ... it's a sin,
And if Army life seems dry,
And you feel you'd rather die,
Suicide you cannot try ... it's a sin.

had reasons, we heard ... (Everyone is hereby cordially invited to attend my funeral.)

PSYCHOLOGIST

June Gay, on KP, yelling "Hurry up folks! Finish your supper ... Free beer in the day room in ten minutes!" They tell me she had the mess hall cleared of tea sippers in record time.

NEW LOCATION

That gathering place, fostered by such geniuses as the "Smiling Smitty", "Clowning Cawthon", "Happy Hall", the "Sad Sack" and "Most Noble Brown"--in other words, the Hobby Shop, is being moved. You'll find these guys in the building directly opposite the Officer's Club ... Oh yes, there is an Officer's Club on the field. You didn't know? Why yes! That's what that tiny edifice is ... Hadn't you noticed the venitian blinds?

COMPLAINT

Gee, Ma'am, it's awfully cold, and there's no place to go with there sometimes being only one movie on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ... Do we just HAVE to have those Bingo parties and Hen sessions in the day room, excluding all our male friends? Gosh, aren't things just about dull enough around here as it is?

SUDDEN THOUGHT

How do the people, who have all the cabs occupied in bad weather get them in the first place, since no one can get a cab because they are all occupied?
