They Trussed Him Into the Army

A fellow who had rvorn a truss for ten years was flatly rejected by the army medical examiners. Later in the day he told a pal about it, and his pal asked for the loan of the truss so that he could wear it for his physical exam for the draft. He got it. When the doctor looked him over and saw the truss, he asked how long the fellow had worn it. He said ten years. The Doc said "Okay, put on your clothes." The young fellow hustled his clothes on, certain that he would be turned loose at once, when to his surprise the Doctor handed him an N. E. rating.

"Doc," said the would-be draft dodger, "what does this N. E. rating mean?"

"It means immediate duty in the Near East," said the Doctor. "Any so-and-so that can wear that truss upside down for ten years is stout enough to ride a camel."
