Huck Finn, a truly perceptive gentleman from the midwest, sent
this one about a mountain man and the US Army.

Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain
man, was drafted by the US Army.

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

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

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