" Just Rambling "

My name is: Al Falfa and my girls name is Ginger Ale.

We have a business of recovering shoes. We work the night shift, from 11:00 p.m. to around 4:00 a.m. Our earnings are best on the hot summer nights when people have their windows open and we do not work when it is cold out.

We howl at the moon and people will throw shoes at us. They only throw one at a time and they hardly ever match. The best location is at an Army base, as we have a better chance to match them up there. Camps with women are far more lucrative than a men’s camp, shoes are easier to collect and will sell faster.

Men’s shoes have a strong smell after they have been out hiking and that smell is hard to get rid of. The sheets on a solders beds, ( they are called Fart sacks) are burnt after being used for a week. Never soak them in bleached water first, they will pollute the atmosphere, always use rubber gloves.

Did you know that the boxes of “K or C’ rations are covered with wax and that wax can be melted and eaten. The only thing a solder has to melt wax in, is his helmet and you never want to put your helmet on your head, when the wax is still warm. That is why they all have short hair cuts or no hair at all.

Another thing you should know, Army pay is a lot less than farm work. But in the Army you can retire after so many years, you never get to retire when you work on a farm. This is one of the reasons you will find more farm boys in the Army. Others join the Air Force because they can’t flap their arms fast enough to fly. Join the Navy, that is where you find girls with husbands at sea.

I’ll bet you can’t name me one Senator who served in the Navy! Army, yes, They all got their training in Hot Air Balloons, at Camp X ray in Nevada. You can’t find it on a map and you can be shot down if you try to fly over it.

My sister’s, brother in law’s friend, married a secret service guys mother,
who almost got a job at the Monument theater as a ticket taker and she knew all about this stuff. Talk about Classification and your need to know, you were rejected and ejected. But I still get a retirement check every month. That reminds me. I wanted to ask if you can loan me a couple of dollars until the first? No, not next month, the first of the year.

You never say anything, so I have no idea what your answer was or is.

Baby needs shoes, Billy needs a coat and Momma always has her hand out and the purse strings are pulled tight, by someone on the right or wrong side.

Oh! Please send your cell phone number, I have been unable to reach you at home.
