The ‘‘Borneo” of the' organiza-
tion, Pfc. W. Jones, has been in
the slew for a few days because
some Lt. lias been taking his girl
and her mother out to dinner,
and the poor fellow was left out
in the cold. We hope he can
stage a j^ood comeback.
T/5G. S. Rogers.
Pvt. Homer Stockton is back
at his old haunt, head of the
chow line and first to hit the
cooks for seconds. T/4G. John
Vandy, our 1st cook, is now cal-
led “Mr. 5 by 5,” probably be-
cause he cats so much of his
own cooking.
Pfc. Andrew J. Sindt. i
It seems that with all his work,
Pvt. Boss still eunnot get enough
exercise to reduce. He stays
awake until the oarly hours of
the night, doing exercises.
D. Queen.
T/5G. Douliek, our mainten-
ance clerk, has let his hair grow
so long that Lt. Beaumont re-
marked to him yesterday: “Are
you going to get a haircut pretty
soon, or are you going to start
■braiding it?”
Sgt. Helgesen.
It seems we have a certain
S/Sgt. who must think that he
is “in good” with the Mess Serge-
ant, or that he lives a life of
Biley. Just the other day, he ask-
ed the Mess Sgt. to have coffee
served to him in bed.
Pfc. Arthur R. McFarlin.
We all feel so sorry for^ Sgt.
Patterson, having had the same
thing happen to us. It seems that
Patterson received a letter from
his girl friend—that is, he thought
she was his—saying she had got-
ten married to a sailor, who
“snowed” her in five easy les-
sons. After Patterson had spent
3 years trying to do the same
thing.
What makes Pfc. Russell come
off pass so early? It seems he
goes to town to see a certain
.someone and when be gets there,
tie finds his best pal has gotten
there first. The other day ho was
seen hiding his friend’s shoes,
thinking maybe he could beat him
that time. But it was no good,
so be is still trying to find a
way to get there first.
Pfc. T. H. Thompson.
The Daniel Webster influence
on the life of a soldier even to-
day is evidenced by S/Sgt.Barnes’
dictionary. Barnes says, “I can’t
even write a letter without it, so
for Gawd sakes bring it back.”
Just goCvS to show you that even
S/Sgt’s. sometimes have to check
on such thing as how many c’s
are in incandescent, or how many
k’s in porcupine.
Speaking of opposites in names,
we have them, too. Pfc. King,
Pfc. Queen. Corp. Long and. Pvt.
Short.
Nolan F. Adney.
Much laughter and merriment
prevailed in the mess hall the
other noon at an impromptu ses-
sion when Butch (“I ain’t got no
matches”) Schlayer was crown-
ed “King” of that select group
which is always running out of
matches and cigarettes.
Pfc. Edward H. Boomgarn.
Another guy was moaning the
blues on account of a letter he
received from the gal he left be-
hind. Yeah, she got hitched to
someone else and just had to tell
him all about it.
It has been said that people
wear their heart in many places
when they are in love. S/Sgt.
Edge! Kazec found evidence the
other day that T/4G. George Prof-
fitt wears his on his head. A few
lines inside his cap read, “George
and S, Love.”
A recent song-fest and get-to-
gether brought Charlie Penning-
ton, our talented lap dancer, into
the* limelight again. He can sure
give the floor a workout when
he starts slinging those feet
around.
T/5G. Shelby F. Rinehart.
By the way, Lipoli, the boys
say you’re quite the nuts on cal-
ling bingo numbers, but 1 want
to know how come six bingos at
a crack? With our new boxing
ring, and William Sacco showing
the "muscle hound” gang a few
punches, we should go places.
And did you notice the sad
look in Corp. Joe Mahony’s eyes
last night when the band played,
“I Wonder Who's Kissing Her
Now?”
S/Sgt. Cleo H. Winn.
A man of few words and a lot
of action is Sgt. Lewis Babick.
The other day he volunteered for
four or five jobs and completed
all without difficulty.
In the wee hours of the morn-
ing, Corp. LeRoy Brown heard
Pfc. Vander Van’s alarm go off
■and shouted, “Dispatcher, Corp.
Brown speaking.” Don’t let it get
you down, Brown!
Corp. Vat Stchur.
The Navy considers Pfc. Fritz,
Pvt. Roknick, S/Sgt. Frazer, Pvt.
Karr and Pfc. Meurer the out-
standing basketball players here.
Corp. Walter R. Wcrek.
qURRTERmRSTE R
Pfc. Kelly Blackburn claims,
“The last time I kissed my wife,
my false choppers flew out and
bit her right on the nose.” •
Corp. Harvey Reames fears that
if a girl gets a run in one of those
stockings painted on the legs,
she’s liable to bleed to death.
Mess Sgt. Frank Ramsey says,
“Hi tier’s in a bad mood these
days because he awakens on the
wrong side of the Channel each
morning.”
Pfc. C. E. Reynolds.
