    Actually the Army said ā€œno thanksā€. He failed basic training, and the only thing he passed was Mess Hall.

    Yeah, he ā€œchoseā€ not to join the militaryā€¦.He had 3 forged letters with different medical excusesā€¦. but he got drafted anyway. then the Army got an actual look at him, and ā€œchoseā€ not to let him in.

    I think Susan got it right. The Army could have used him for a target but they wanted something smaller.

    No he salutes the guard because he wants everyone to see how stupid he is. I would NOT go anywhere with them. So embarrassing arenā€™t they!

    A co-worker tried to get me to try one of those fake military basic training style exercise clubs to get himself a discount. He had not served and I had in the army. I explained to him why not and If it was fun it wasnā€™t real and he would get himself hurt. He wound up with shoulder surgery.

    Burl irks me on so many levels, but today he takes the cake, and Joy is no flippinā€™ prize, either. In the end he chose not to, eh? Well, his having a choice in the matter is debatable, but ā€˜in the endā€™ weā€™re good and lucky he didnā€™t!

    LOL @Drew, I did not notice -good catch! Iā€™m sure Julie did that purposely just to further illustrate his stupidity!

    @Purple, We are lucky that he is not one of those defending our liberties (whether or not of his own choice).@LovesLife, we ALL have some relations or friends who can be occasionally embarrassing; itā€™s just that the Pennyā€™s ALWAYS are!

    And (from yesterday) @Pipe, I also find it difficult to completely let go of my resentment and forgive (and he has received his reward in death) but continues to be my example of a sociopath. I forgive to the extent I can without an apology and keep it out of my mind most of the time. I live my own life as happy and generously as I can and am grateful that I did not NEED what would have been mine.

    Nuff said.

    Doesnā€™t a left-handed salute have some specific meaning? I suspect itā€™s a no-no.

    Only when your right arm is in a cast.

    reminds me of something kids doā€¦.you know, when they think theyā€™ll get into the service when theyā€™re older so thy feel cool saluting anyone in uniform because they feel a connection. O.K for kids. Like Burl. Who, in the end, ā€œchoseā€ not to join. And I ā€œchoseā€ to not make claim on my winning Powerball ticket. Happens ALL the time! And it DONā€™T rain in Indianapolis in the summertime!!

    Looks like Burlā€™s butt saluted as his pants seem to have a split in them.

    Just like Bush, Cheney, and the other ChickenHawks.

    I just got an email saying that Big Lots is now the official Hostess Twinkie and Ding Dong outlet. I understand the store in Crustwood was mobbed this morning with lots of collateral damage. They broke the door down at 6am, and the clerks are in tears. Pictures at 11!
