One Monday night, as soon as the
voice recognized, a funny creature,
I believe was Meyer, yelled from a
cubicle at a friend who just walked
in through Jthe door of upper 5 dorm:
"Key, Charlee Davis, how you'd do in
tonite's bowling league?'*
"291," was the answer.
"Really?-?-? How you did it?”
"Very simple, put together all total
three games and gave me a score of
291, you@#$%£&*+3/=l
A very affectionate mother whose
son just about to enlist in the Army
was assured that they would make him
a man. Not very long the anxious
mother got this fascinating letter:
'Dear Mom, I have learned to make a
bed with the best of them. I do my
own laundry, ironing and mending.
Every morning >1 sweep and mop, and
once a week we house-clean - - and I
wash the walls and windows. Between
times, I peel potatoes, set tables
and wash dishes. Are you sure the
Army intends to make a man out of me?"
AFTV will show this special program?
"Mention Adak will not travel.'"

The group gathered in the kitchen
for a ten-minute coffee break, and a
conversation broke out about housing
situation in the "island.”
Trying to scrape off the old dirty
paint in the kitchen exhaust electric
fan and repaint, I asked one of the
"painters*'who was about on the 30th
of the housing list, "Hey, Charlee,
do you have a knife?"
While in his deep thought and mis
understoodly answered, "What, I’m on
number nine?"
"No, a knife.’ Do you have one?"
The puzzled man blushed and shook his
head in a negative w^ay.
Shipmates, if you have found any
significants happening in the Island
(which is not very unusual) or perhaps
some personal jokes you wish to post,
don’t be bashful and "tell it to Char
lee—not to Groucho.’" Just scribble
them on a piece of paper and send to
me in Central Files.
A private on leave at his home in a
small island of Alaska called his CO
requesting an extension of leave and
promising would be back in camp the
next morning. The CO, wishing to as
certain that the lad could be back by
then, told him to hold the line while
he consulted his map. Unable to loc
ate the town, he told another officer
and asked that a larger atlas be checked,
still without success. The CO said to
the soldier, "I'd have no objection to a
1 day extension, but I can’t find your
town on any map."
"But you all didn’t have any trouble
finding this when you ’wanted to
draft me.’
