Dear Ma and Pa,

I am well. Hope you are too. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the
Marine Corps beats working for old man Finch by a mile. Tell them to
join up quick before all of the places are filled.

I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6am.
But I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you
do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs
to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay.
Practically Nothing.

Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast is
strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but
kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and
other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the
two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours holds you
until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't
walk much.

We go on 'route marches,'which the platoon sergeant says are long walks
to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tell him different.
A 'route march' is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city
guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.

The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is
like the school board. Majors and Colonels just ride around and frown
a lot, but they don't bother you none.

This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals
for shooting, I don't know why. The bulls eye is near as big as a
chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the
Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable
and hit it. You don't even load your cartridges, they come in boxes.

Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to
wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they
break real easy. It ain't like fighting with that ol' bull at home. I'm
about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in
Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but
I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry.

Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers
get onto this setup and come stampeding in.

You loving daughter, Alice

Dear Ma and Pa,

This is great! I didn't read the subject first, so I was

I'm reading it as if Gomer Pyle write it home! (I still watch it, on Friday nights, just before Green Acres and a double shot of Hogan's Heros) then you
h it me with the sign-off Got me!

Did you hear about the new sitcom reboot with an all Hispanic cast?
The Juander Years

NBC is planning an old-fashioned sitcom about Abraham Lincoln.
It will be shot before a live audience.

Have you seen the new sitcom based around the sectarian Islamic takeover of
the city of brotherly love?
It's Always Suni In Philadelphia.

Can someone tell me the name of the 80s sitcom set in a bar with Ted Danson?

cheers,

Me

& one of my fave Senifeld routines:

There are many things you can point to as proof that the human is not smart. But my personal favorite would have to be that we needed to invent the
helmet. What was happening, apparently, was that we were involved in a lot of activities that were cracking our heads. We chose not to avoid doing those activities but, instead, to come up with some sort of device to help us enjoy our head-cracking lifestyles. And even that didn’t work because not enough people were wearing them so we had to come up with the helmet law. Which is even stupider, the idea behind the helmet law being to preserve a brain whose judgment is so poor, it does not even try to avoid the cracking of the head it’s in.

George,

All the great TV shows were back then...it's all trash now. Yet, to
society today, it's the raunchier, the better.

I was going to say "Taxi", but the meter was running.

Mostly, yup -- I find anything produced by Chuck Lorree is quality -- actual humour & the actors are all excellently versed in method acting (actually BECOMING the character they play)

I love the great character development & dialogue in: "The Big Bang Theory," "Mom," & "United States of Al" (the first 2 are series ended, but the latter one is brand new)

Any of his are well worth a binge watch. .

Got it, ow leave you alone until next year, as you've just done all your
cards?

Guess Who's playing at the arena tonight?
Who?
Yes!

Sales are down, so my boss asked why the greeting cards aren't moving
I told him it's because they are stationary

In the store I saw some brightly coloured greeting cards that said, "I will always love only you "
They sold them in packs of 12.

They actually made a KFC movie on the Hallmark channel
It’s suppose to be a romance but don’t be surprised if there’s some Fowl
play.

I’m an accountant for Hallmark... they throw me out of casinos now because
I’m a “professional card counter”.

As I handed my dad his 50th birthday card, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said,
"You know, one would have been enough." (Juan would do it, eh?)
