Synopsis

"The Bible not withstanding, this is the greatest book ever written." An advertisement the author intended to take out in, The St. Petersberg Times. "This book should be required reading for everyone in the world." From an advertisement the author tried to take out in the, ............The New Yorker Magazine. "I know this man,..........he's stupid. But he tells a good story." A general consensus of those who know the author. "If God hasn't stopped him, he must be proof that I exist, ...... ......Mephistopheles! This is a collection of humorous stories I recall from my time in the service, and shortly thereafter. It is my nature to poke fun at things I find funny, or in some cases, sad. Most, almost all, of these recollections are accurate, but a couple have been embellished a little where they needed help. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them.
