Topic tags/keywords: humor Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years. Any of you want to comment. Maybe you know this man..?? -- Drink twice... and don't bother to cut... @ larrysworkshop.wordpress.com For lovers of all things timber... |

What a helluva good joke, Larry. :-) -- If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau |
