Re: It's just a Joke! It was 1944, getting near the end of WW2, when young Bluey Sanders from Brewarrina at the back of Bourke was called up to serve his country. bluey had never been to the "big smoke" or even out of his rural area in his life so far. He was a bit apprehensive of what he would encounter in the outside world.
First day at Kapooka Army camp, he was issued with a uniform, including a comb. that afternoon the army barber cut off all his hair.
Next day, he was issued with pesonal kit, including a toothbrush. that afternoon, the army dentist pulled out 7 of his teeth.
Third day, he was issued with a jock strap. Bluey is still officially AWOL!!! |
