She created "Yolanda Yardbird"-the female version of Sad Sack-for the corps, and it was depicted weekly across the globe from the Army newspapers of Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.
Awesome!
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Okay, so my grandfather was in the Navy, not the Army, and it was during WWII, but my dad's not sure what else he remembers about it (he was born in '39, so pretty young). Very interesting. I'll have to push him to think about it more.

Gillette ad from the Great Depression:
“I didn’t get the job”
HE’D counted on landing the job—but he missed out. Again he’ll have to “stall” the landlord, the grocer and all the rest. One thing stood between him and a weekly pay check. His wife is somewhat reluctant to tell him. He doesn’t realize that a fresh, close shave is important in getting and holding a job.
Bummer.

I'm supposed to go to a play tonight. Mostly I just want to put on my pajamas and nap and then watch The Daily Show.
