Good morning crew,
If you hadn't noticed by the calendar, today is Valentine's
Day. I know, I know...everybody is talking about Valentine's
Day today, but there's one important difference here. I'm
funny.
Most of the Western world recognizes today as a special time
for romance, but in recent years there have been a lot of
Valentine's Day detractors - folks who subscribe to modern
taboos against gender profiling and backlashing against what
has come to be known as "Hallmark Holidays." Sounds like a
convenient excuse to avoid a little extra effort to me.
I'm one of those anachronistic people who still believes that
a woman should be wooed occasionally. And not far below the
surface I think the women still enjoy it, too.
So my recommendation is to go ahead and make today a little
extra special. It's surprising how even a small, but sincere
gesture can really warm a person's heart. And if small and
sincere doesn't work there's always insincere and expensive.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Arriving home from work at my usual hour of 5 p.m., I dis-
covered that it had not been one of my wife's better days.
Nothing I said or did seemed to be right.
By 7 p.m. things had not changed, so before a fight started
in earnest I suggested I go outside, pretend I had just
gotten home, and start all over again. My wife agreed.
I went outside, came back in and, with a big smile,
announced, "Honey, I'm home!"
"And just where have you been?" she replied sharply. "It's
after seven o'clock!"

Although I knew our commanding officer hated doling out week-
end passes, I thought I had a good reason.
"My wife is pregnant and I want to be with her," I told the
C.O. Much to my surprise he said, "Permission granted."
Inspired by my success, a fellow soldier also requested a
weekend pass. His wife wasn't pregnant, so when the C.O.
asked why he should grant him permission, my friend re-
sponded, "My wife is getting pregnant this weekend and I
want to be with her."
