A young man entered the Army recruiting center.
He Wore a purple sheet, a seventeenth century cape and a Napoleonic hat. On
his feet were spurs that jingle-Jangled, tied around his waist was a braided
silk rope which pulled a toy missile launcher when he walked.In one hand he
had a lollipop and in the other a mock-up submachine gun.
"Sir," he said to the recruiting officer, "I want to put in a
word for my brother who's going to enlist tomorrow. You see, great interest
in military service passes from generation to generation in our family!"
