Finally, I get some respect!“We’re doctors,” laughed Captain Goldman. “Our hands and fingers are remarkably skilled and dexterous!”
Good luck getting gratitude from Moore...“Doesn’t sound much like gratitude, does it?”
He is a noted authorburied beneath a number of self-help books on how to be funny
Ask his partner, your aunt Detective Barbara Moore...what the fuck he did to get himself booted off the force.
yeah, sure you will...I’ll tell you, dear Diary, how that turned out in my next entry.

Why not President Goldman? A war hero doctor after all....Senator Goldman
Regulations are regulations, and laundry day is laundry day! Army discipline can be that simple!“Today is laundry day, Lieutenant Moore,” replied Wragg with a grin. “Sammy Kan, the Korean who does our laundry, came around this morning. We did you a favor and sent your clothes off with him.”
“But ... but ... I’m sure I was wearing something when I went to bed!” I stammered.
“We’re very thorough,” chimed in Captain Jolly. “If laundry is to be sent out ... might as well send all of it.”
“How’d you get them off of me while I was in bed?”
“We’re doctors,” laughed Captain Goldman. “Our hands and fingers are remarkably skilled and dexterous!”
Just a precaution, I think! The Chinese are after all keen in attacking by surprise for a though hand to hand combat.Captain Jolly’s possessions were few and could be best described as rather macabre, especially the long-handled scythe wrapped in a tattered black shroud which he kept beneath his bed, along with a full length black velveteen hooded-cape and an edited collection of tombstone epithets.
So I had one and then another, and ... well ... after that I lost count. And ... throwing caution to the winds ...and confident that the tent was free of Rodent’s hidden cameras ... I experimented with mixing in just a tiny bit of Joan’s potion.
Great entry, Barb! Good thing you have such an honorable superior in General Praetorius. Otherwise, this could have ended badly for you!
Why not President Goldman? A war hero doctor after all....
Then I moved on to Captain Wragg, who turned out to be .... just as he claimed ... a scion of one of those old line English landed gentry families. I found some photos of the family’s country house, Cruxton Abbey, including some interior shots of four-poster beds and ... rather weirdly ... a fully-equipped cellar dungeon. There was also the family crest, which appeared to feature a naked woman hanging from a cross behind a distinguished, but rather foppish looking man dressed in blue and projecting the air of a man of letters. The assortment of hand-written poems at the bottom of Wragg’s footlocker read like accomplished works, although the subject matter was ... well ... off color, to say the least.
Adolf! Donnerwetter! I moved heaven and earth to persuade US immigration to change my name into a genuine American 'Wilbur', and then, some other former NSKK dude catches me up in the very most thinkable remote spot of this planet, to call me 'Adolf' again!Staff Sergeant Adolf Loxuru
Hovering at the edges of the tent was a ratty little corporal who introduced himself as “Radar” O’Reilly.

My apologies gentlemen.Why is it some Americans cannot follow anything said in a British accent?
Besides O'Reilly is with the 4077th
What else did you want us to do? I mean, there you'd be with all clean laundry, except that one pair of kinis and maybe a t-shirt that was all dirty. You'd hate that.“But ... but ... I’m sure I was wearing something when I went to bed!” I stammered.
“We’re very thorough,” chimed in Captain Jolly. “If laundry is to be sent out ... might as well send all of it.”
And maybe snap a few quick photos for Stars and Stripes or something.“Doesn’t sound much like gratitude, does it?” sniffed Wragg, feigning a hurt look. “Try to relax and enjoy your day, Moore. Corporal Rodent will be around shortly to bring you some breakfast
Careful with the scythe, it cuts, well, everything really. I also have a rather splendid horse...somewhere...he'll come if I need him, and no, the North Koreans won't bother him. I also have a few nice books of gallows humour jokes, if you'd like to see them sometime.Captain Jolly’s possessions were few and could be best described as rather macabre, especially the long-handled scythe wrapped in a tattered black shroud which he kept beneath his bed, along with a full length black velveteen hooded-cape and an edited collection of tombstone epithets.
Well, that's not going to help you get in the correct frame of mind for the General...or perhaps it will. It won't help you put on a bra straight anyway, but since none of the rest of us care about that (the General included, I expect), we needent worry. Carry on.So I had one and then another, and ... well ... after that I lost count. And ... throwing caution to the winds ...and confident that the tent was free of Rodent’s hidden cameras ...

LOOK, NOW! I mean, look now! I don't go criticizing the colour of your dog or cat. "Sickly", honestly. It's a lighter shade of pale, is what it is.The horse's color? khlōros (χλωρός) - sickly pale! I'm sure you make a great sight riding him!

I'm just translating the Greek. (Revelations 6:8 καὶ εἶδον, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἵππος χλωρός, καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπάνω αὐτοῦ ὄνομα αὐτῷ [ὁ] Θάνατος, καὶ ὁ ἅ|δης ἠκολούθει μετ' αὐτοῦ: καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτοῖς ἐξουσία ἐπὶ τὸ τέταρτον τῆς γῆς, ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν λιμῷ καὶ ἐν θανάτῳ καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν θηρίων τῆς γῆς.) Blame John of Patmos, or whoever wrote the words of the scroll with the Seven Seals.LOOK, NOW! I mean, look now! I don't go criticizing the colour of your dog or cat. "Sickly", honestly. It's a lighter shade of pale, is what it is.

Or do you mean Procol Harum, "A Whiter Shade of Pale"?
Right up there with, "why don't you come upstairs and I'll show you my etchings."That’s a better pick up line than the ones Tree usually uses ...
Well done.That’s a group and a song, right?
