Herman and the Army

"Herman and the Army"

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

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

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

On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap.

The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.
