An Army recruiter delivered a windy pep talk to encourage a group of college students to join the VOLAR. But the culminating point of his oration was greeted with cat calls, whistles and projection of rotten eggs and an assortment of no less rotten vegetables and fruits.

A visitor asked a student: “Why you throw tomatoes at the man and now you are applauding him?”

“We want an encore. I still have some tomatoes left!” explained the student.

The following is supposedly a true story relating to an actual sailor’s experience in the Army.

After turning in from a four to eight watch the seaman overslept and missed muster. When questioned he said: “Due to my metabolic inability to cope with change I did not respond to external stimuli and remained in a comatose condition.”

The C.P.O., who didn’t understand a word, listened to this report with awe and sent the sailor to the psychiatrist.
