Ernie had a scoop on defective ordnance, but his editor said he had to sit on it.

It wasn't easy to get Eugene out of his shell, but an offer of a lucky strike worked wonders.

When Shultz finally got a round in, he was surprised the rest of the squad didn’t want to join in.

Hoskins pondered the mysterious arrival of the giant shell outside his foxhole. His squad mates seemed prepared to accept the official explanation that it had been fired from a 45 caliber gun. But when you'd worn out as many boots as Hoskins had, you recognized BS when you heard it.

After a thorough reading of the instructions, Hoskins was confused. Though guaranteed to effectively deal with constipation, how, exactly, was one to insert the suppository?

Oh, there's luck Sarge, I've found your contact lens stuck in the tread of my boot!

Best advice I ever ignored... always choose the Needle & not the Suppository!

Thank God that’s out, next time the Sarge threatens to shove his boot so far up my arse, I better do as he says.

”No Sarge, I'm not shirking, we're all having a swell time here, but... I know you won't believe me, but this thing came bounding up the hill and landed on my foot, and my boot is still under there!"
