All right, oh yeah.

Speaker 6

I never knowed which was her chins and which was her lips.

I never knowed where to kiss her.

Speaker 2

We didn't, huh.

Speaker 6

I finally worked out her sister though, What was that Anna, I'd hold a piece of candy up to her face and whatever opened up for it, that's what i'd care.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, that was a smart idea, sort of using the candy, thought of a range find him.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that's well.

Speaker 8

Up to now, Andy, you seem to be pretty much in declared with the gal.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 6

I can't think of nobody that could cause me no sueing trouble.

Not a single gal.

I wait a minute, there is one that I just thunk of that I might have preposed her.

Yeah, there is one that I oh, hello, Henry, Hello boy, Hello, I was just out shopping with my wife that i'd stop in.

Speaker 2

We met that Sylvia Adams.

She was shopping for her true saul.

That's the one I members now.

Speaker 6

I preposed to her about two weeks ago, when I was sitting on a sofa ware when I asked her to marry me, she just smiled.

I never didn't figure out whether she smiled yes or smiled no.

Speaker 2

Well, from what I see to her shopping today.

Speaker 6

I would say that she definitely smiled in the infirmative.

Henry, is you show that it was a truth sold that she was buying?

Well, I seed her by a long white dress.

It had orange blossoms embroidered all over it.

She bought sort of a net veil that went over her heead.

And most important of all, there was a long train behind her.

Speaker 2

Do that long train behind.

Speaker 1

Her make her a bride?

Bro then it don't make no engineer.

Speaker 6

Well, fellas they got me again.

I can't stand another breach of promise.

Speaker 1

You well, what is he gonna do?

Speaker 6

Come on, King Frish, We're going over to see my lawyer, Gabby Gibson.

Speaker 1

Oh dare you Gabby?

Speaker 8

And it feels pretty sure that steals your atoms is gonna sue him for breaching promos.

Speaker 1

Now, how are you gonna handle the thing?

Speaker 6

Well, first we got to see if he's got a case.

Yes, and even got to see if he's got a case.

I know we'll claim that.

And wasn't in his right man mind when he proposed he was a little testing the head.

Oh but Gabby, I was the same as I always good.

We got a case, But Gabby you don't get the idea.

I don't want to be sued at all.

Speaker 5

Oh, I see what you mean.

I see what you mean.

He wants to be what's noting the legal profession as sue proud.

Speaker 1

Oh yeah, that's the exactly the idea, Gabby.

Speaker 6

Well it becomes suit prooved.

There's only one way, only one way.

If you was in Darman, if you was a soldier, you couldn't sue.

Nobody can sue a soldier.

Speaker 2

Well wait a minute, yeah, wait a minute.

Speaker 6

You think I is in good enough condition to pass the physical for the army?

Speaker 1

Oh and that don't be crazy.

You got all you can do to pass the physical.

Speaker 10

For being a civilian.

Yes, indeed, I guess you're right.

Speaker 5

That fat on him?

Look at that fat.

Speaker 6

Now wait a minute, Gabby, there's plenty of muscle there.

Speaker 5

Quand where in my arm here?

Speaker 6

Feel it?

Let me feel him.

People's getting two red ration points, will turning into that stuff?

Speaker 9

Ah?

Speaker 8

Weird a minute, yere, I got another idea.

Since and they can't get into him, why can't he borrow a soldier's uniform just long enough to see the girl and convince her that she can't sue him?

Speaker 1

Because he's in the armen that will end it.

Speaker 6

Oh, King Fisher got a great idea, and it just so happens that Larry Simpson just got a medical discharge from the Army.

Speaker 2

I can borrow his uniform.

Speaker 6

Yeah, and you certainly got to right take these steps, because at all the beach of promiseus you has had you show up in a victim, a victim of the laws, supplying the.

Speaker 2

Man the sublime demand.

Speaker 6

How you figure that, Well, it's always the women who supply the trouble, and the man who gets it that's supplying the man if ire of the head.

Just now, let's go back to the lodge hall and hear the mystic Nights of the Sea quartet singing Running Wild.

Speaker 11

Their pants seem to fit already, the jagged with the belt, and yeah, the brains buttons don't look bad, neither only thing?

And uh, why are you wearing that steel?

Speaker 1

Hell?

Speaker 6

Well, this fellow I buy the uniform from, don't give his cloth hat to his little nephew for a souvenir.

How is it?

That you wearing a helmet around New York Andy.

When most of the fellas just were overseas cats.

Speaker 6

Oh yeah, well they probably ain't been the thick of it like irons.

That's where you really get used to a helmet.

Speaker 2

Why.

Speaker 6

Up at the battlefront, a helmet is like a second home to a soldier.

Speaker 2

He washes in it, he does laundry in it.

He even cooks in it, cooks in it.

Oh show.

Speaker 6

I can remember lots of nights when I have been cooking supper and my helmet over the campfire.

Suddenly the bugle pros charge the enemy, and I'd go in a hand to hand fighting with a head full Irish stew.

Oh yeah, I'd be comba dumplings out of my hair for weeks.

Speaker 4

Well this is very interesting, and come sit here on the sofa with me and tell me more.

Speaker 2

Oh said on the sofa.

You know that reminds me.

Speaker 6

A buddy of mine was sitting on the sofa with a gal and they preposed to her and then retreated.

Speaker 2

She was going to sue him for breaching promise.

Speaker 6

What happened, Well, she found out that she couldn't see him on account of you can't sue a man in uniform.

Save every drop of used fat.

Take it to your butcher regularly.

He'll give you four cents and two red points for every pound.
