Last Kiss by John Lustig for April 10, 2024

“They say” she’s had a sailor in every port!

I don’t know why, but I’m reminded of a wartime saying about loose lips. Sinking what? Torpedos? Nah, that can’t be it.

Man-tata! Has Ray been stung!

These are serious heels!

A sailor in every ship.

A true patriot, Keeping morale high and morals low.

Collect them all!

IMHO, she would be more like a nuclear submarine Boomer class, as the joke would go…lol

And those two probably ARE engaged!!

She really enjoyed it when he crossed her equator, because she’d never been with a man down under before.

shore leave love…

But she never dated Marines. She was rotten to the Corps.

I was in the Navy for 10 years. This isn’t far off from reality. It’s a bit tamer than reality than how the spouses were.

“…never anyone else {under her breath:} from the USS Saratoga.”

“But I see the Enterprise has just arrived, gotta go.”

She is like the one in every port………..

She’s built like a Submarine, long and slim, but she’s really a Cruiser.

“Fleet’s in!”

“Oh! Bye-bye, whatever your name is!”

And all six sailors in the boat replied, “We are.”

All’s fair in Love and War.

They were literally not enough men to go around during and after the war. That’s how women got away with being such flirts and men got away with being such jerks.

She was some dish, Miss Petri.

Ah, the good old days when women supported the men in uniform.

BLONDIE: Johnny! I hardly recognize you after six months at sea.

JACK: That’s cause I’m Jack.

BLONDIE: You changed your name?

BILL ON THE LADDER: HEY JOHNNIE – YOUR GAL IS CONFUSED AGAIN!

She was engaged to all of them, at one time or another.

I was stationed aboard a ballistic missile submarine. They had 2 crews and when one crew was aboard the other had a month of R&R followed by 2 months of training before they swapped. Technically we were stationed in South Carolina but operated out of Rota Spain, so we’d fly out of Charleston to relieve the crew in Spain. The scene at the airport was the opposite of this comic. After the tearful goodbye some of the wives or girl friends would go to the airport bar and pick up guys. I could never bring myself to pickup someone’s cheating wife.

*….and if there ever HAD been anyone else, my love for you would have made me forget them already."
