My Military Days

On my very first day in the military, I was issued a comb, then the Army barber shaved off all of my hair that very afternoon. On my second day in the military a toothbrush was issued to me. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked out all of my teeth. On my third day in the military I was issued a jock strap. I've been AWOL ever since and I'll be damned if I'm going back.
