Army Laughs, Sept 1963 p2

Some more gags from Army Laughs, September, 1963…

Gags from a humor piece by Miles Doody called Hello from Washington D.C…

Dear Sam: Well, here I am in the Nation’s Capitol where the air is filled with speeches and vice-versa…Everybody’s got troubles, but mine always seem to come in the Large Economy Size…

As far as I am concerned Airplanes are the safest things on earth and the best way to fly is by Bus…

Grandpappy also told me that the Wright Brothers, who were friends of his, weren’t trying to invent a Flying Machine in the first place. They were just two guys with a revolutionary idea for a Blanket Drier and the damn thing took off in a high wind…

Flying is nothing new to Sergeant Sweeney. He used to be a Pilot. In fact, during World War II, he destroyed 32 planes – BEFORE he got out of flying school!…

A gag from a piece by Mike Mitchell, bartender:

Talking about wives, there was the woman who’d come in [to the bar] and ask: “Is my husband here?” When she was sure he wasn’t, she’d order a double bourbon.
