I can make out a correctly oriented letter E ahead of the cockpit. Could he have been landing on the centerline deck?

Fortunately it wasn’t “lit”

I logged 11 days aboard the troopships USS General Mann and 8 days aboard the USS General Mitchell before I was 8 years old - as one of two-dozen or so dependents. The other passengers were Marines. That’s how we transited the Pacific in the late ‘50s & early ’60s.

I’m offended.

That’s why they swam to salt water.

Pew, pew…

I was thinking Jiffy Pop…

It appears Brian also keeps his sidewalk clear. We need Brians.

My wife laughed out loud at that one!

Someone couldn’t spell…

True story: I showed this to my wife who read the whole thing. I noticed as she was reading she glanced at my thumb.

I’m thinking it’s for the nausea after eating the parts. Then the donuts will taste better for dessert.
