~Herman is Missing~
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day)

Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, an Ozark Mountain hillbilly, was drafted by the Army.

On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair.

On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth.

On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years. ***

~Here's an Idea~

WHY CAN'T THE DUMB POLITICIANS COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS LIKE THIS?

A win win win situation.

Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border, use the dirt to raise the levies in New Orleans and put the Florida alligators into the moat.

Any other problems you would like me to solve? ***

The expression in his face -- pinched, vengeful, and mean -- could assign to a choleric temperament or a display of tactical emotion on the part of a clever bully.-- Lewis H. Lapham, "Notebook", Harper's Magazine, February 2001

A portrait of Dalrymple in middle age shows him to be of corpulent figure with petulant lips, beefy face, and choleric eyes that glare accusingly at the viewer.-- Alan Gurney, Below the Convergence
