I camouflaged it to look like ducks,

Now don't be frightened by the

I regret to report, sir, that our 75 millimeter
guns which were left out in the rain last night,
are only 53 millimeters this morning.

Yeah, an' we'll come back from de
trainin' camp an' find dat some pretty dame's
got our job.

How does it happen, mother, that all the letters I receive
from my traveling salesman friend are marked 'opened by censor'?
