Thanks – this reminds me of my Dad (26 years in the Army) whose favorite assignments were RECRUITING!! Several times he was the top recruiter for the year. One of the newspaper clippings I still have has him recruiting (are ya’ ready?) — 45 guys in ONE MONTH!!
When Dad was stationed in Batesville, Ark, he would take me on the circuit throughout the rural areas where he would talk to those boys and their parents. He talked to them like he was the best friend they would ever have in their lives.
Then I joined the Navy…….
(I spoke with a Marine recruiter last week (and was I ever that young?) and he told me his quota is 2 per month.)
Harold had contributed so much toward comedy in the last 4 decades. This intelligent, hilarious and talented man will be missed. The world feels just a bit sadder without him. RIP

HAW-HAW!! My cousins and I have been talking about our boot camp days lately. The question is: why does it seem like a fun time NOW?
Because it’s over, and won’t happen again.
BTW, what’s boot camp *like* in the IDF?
