Well—we never took her out of Camp yet, but I am sure she'll give.—Why only the other day I had trouble stopping it. When I put my foot on the brake, it went faster.” See what I mean. QM? Can you imagine what might happen if Sgt. Bangl put his 220 lbs. on the gas pedal? Deluxe Model—Antique Finish I Now to further frighten our opponent we will endeavor to give you some more details of the Hq. Co. Jallopy. It huffs and it puffs, it looks like a two-way stretch on a one-way street. The headlights are adorned by GI glasses, in the SCU fashion, a la Ben Turpin. It is lavishly upholstered with a potato bag burlap finish. The wheels are on top. the driver is on the bottom and the passengers stay away in droves. The paint job resembles a Minsky stripper, strip ped, and the chassis looks more like Mae West in reverse than Lon Chaney in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Please hurry in accepting this challenge.

Comer to en lighten me on the subject of "day rooms.” “What is the difference between the day room adjoining the orderly room and the one adjoining the mail room?” He replied. “Well, as far as I can see it, (How far is that, Com er?) the only difference is that our day room here is going to be the quiet one, and the other will be the latrine type with pool table, ping pong table, bull table and crap table.” I then further questioned his ac cumulated reserve of “You-Don’t- Have - to - Go - to - College - to Have-Army-Knowledge ’ “What is the difference between a bull table and a crap table?” “No difference — YOU JUST THROW IT.” said he. "Even against the wind?” I asked. “This is beginning to smell, let me out of here,” cried Cpl. “Just T. J.” Comer, possessor of a fine voice, a hard worker and indeed a gentleman. . .
