Herman

[Guest High Plains Drifter]

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.
