PATRIOTISM UPDATE
We're all doing what we can.
Key Quote: To the group in Galveston Texas (Yes, I got word the NEXT day), you CANNOT, and I mean CANNOT go to a bar and get loaded and start chanting 'TAKE ONE FOR THE COUNTRY' like a zillion times.
(Thanks to Michael Greenspan)

This is what makes America America.

Another key quote:
"she is calling on wives of servicemen to have 'Felatio Friday'(sic) at least once a month.Awesome, awesome idea."
I have to agree. This should become a national holiday.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is weird?
But what the heck, if the ladies put some Baywatch - Pictures on their webpage it might even help the recruitment numbers.
"Join the Army - get laid - kill other people!"
America is a really strange place.

Ups. Sorry for that. 2nd version is grammatically correct....

Zibby, of course it's a hoax. But a great one. I mean, who can't get behind Fellatio Friday? I know it strikes a patriotic chord with me.
I suppose they got it from the old baseball adage of Take One for the Team popularized by the great Minnie Minoso who, a Robert Klein pointed out in a hilarious routine, had a slightly different philosophy of batting than most people: Minnie's head was in the strike zone.

Should have read "as" Robert Klein (sorry)
And someone should have told them how to spell "discreet" and "fellatio." (Not that I'm one to talk, I guess, but then I know how to spell I just post without checking first).

I also liked the bit about the "few men" involved. I guess they wanted to cover all the bases, so to speak, but I couldn't help picturing some poor lonely 18 year old virgin hoping to score before he went overseas missing out on the "sensual" babes and getting Gay Bob (not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's your preference).
Incidentally, checking that website mentioned by Zibby, it sure looks like a hoax, but snopes doesn't have it. Yet.

Hoax or not, the pics in the gallery are a concern.
Photographs of women from the neck down are a BAD sign. Although I guess if you're about to get shipped of to Iraq, you could adjust your standards a bit.

Right, Garret, got to wonder what Miki's face looks like. But then, I guess they were selling the t-shirts, not the women. (I think)
Since we haven't seen any comments yet I think we can infer that Punky, eadn and some other friends had a late night. Someone better put the coffee on.

It was probably invented by a bunch of servicemen getting ready to ship out. I'm sure more that one women fell for it, or at least used it as an excuse if you know what I mean.

SMFTC, Duly noted.
Ya know, all I can say is with Dave posting this (hoax or not) "discreet" is out of the bag.
I 'spose one could also class this as "not a good pick-up line" ;-)
