AH legend
Soon after being transferred to a new duty station, my Marine husband called home one evening to tell me he would be late. “Dirty magazines were discovered in the platoon quarters,” he said, “and the whole squad is being disciplined.”
I launched into a tirade, arguing that all the Marines should not be penalized for something someone did.
My husband interrupted. “Honey, when I said ‘dirty magazines,’ I meant the clips from their rifles hadn’t been cleaned.”
This young man was elated when he turned eighteen in a state where curfew is 11:00 p.m. for any one under seventeen years of age. He told his Dad how happy he was that now he could stay out until 3:00 a.m. if he wanted. “Yes you can stay out as late as you want, but the car is under seventeen and it has to be in the garage by eleven.” His father said.
A little boy sent a "get well quick" card to his grandfather in the hospital. Inside the card he wrote:
Dear Grandpa,
Mama tells me that you went to the hospital for some tests. I hope you get an "A"!
Love, Billy
