Some fellers join the army while others do their fightin' at home.
 A rookie G.I. was told to police the grounds by his Sarge: He said, If it's little pick it up. if it's big paint it. if it moves salute it.
 If you are a G,I there are two ways to do job, the right way and the army way.
 Too many gals are all tucker ed out before they're tucked in. When Hubby Tyler's mule kicked his motherinlaw every body wanted to buy the mule. When a feller gifts too old to set a bad example he starts given out good advice.
 Real preachers are born, not paid.
 Some self made fellers are sure in love with their maker. Tod Bottoms wife says a good joke is wonderful unless you're married to one.
