Letter to the Editor from The Chiefs that have Subsisted in the General Mess*
This is just a note of thanks to the Galley Crew of the General Mess* We,
and there is a substantial number, Chiefs that have, in the past and now are
eating in the General Mess, want to state that we think the chow is of the
grade that deserves an award* The quality of'the chow and the product of
the efforts of the Galley Crew is outstanding* We are sure that the rumor,
or rather, the ill word of wisdom stated in the past is a word of wit and not
a word of truth*
Those that Care*
CHUCKLES:
A drunk staggered up to the ticket
office and said, "I want a ticket
to Nov-; York*1’ '
"Do you want to go by Buffalo?"
asked the clerk*
"Hock no," slobbered the drunk.
"I want to go by plane!"
A new type of cigarette lighter has
boon invented* You push a button and
an arrow pops out and points to the
nearest person with a match*
