A Classic
A G.I. on deployment story revisited
I have received this anecdote several times over the years and to this day it just slays me. I nearly fall out laughing every single time I read it. On it's most recent circulation it was sent to me by Ms. Abbey, who doesn't send stuff out often, but when it goes out, it is killer. This is timeless, and I would venture to guess that it has been around since both War and Photographs have co-existed. It was even a plot line on an episode of M*A*S*H.
The Bit
A Marine was deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there he received a letter from his girlfriend. In the letter she explained that she had slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up with him. AND, she wanted pictures of herself back.
The Marine did what any squared-away Marine would do. He went around to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could find. He then mailed about 25 pictures of women (with clothes and without) to his girlfriend with the following note:
"I don't remember which one you are. Please remove your picture and send the rest back."
