No problem, actually it is a bit loose. Must get it tailored.


With all that time you spend in the water, it's not surprising you've
shrunk. :-)

Veterans' Day rolls around. Hope some of you can still fit into your old
uniforms, if you'd like to.


It's been 49 1/2 years since I got out of the marine corps, but I can
still get into my uniform! Fits perfectly!

Well, not the *whole* uniform. Just the cap and the socks.

That's my kinda uniform! Well, not on you, Vince, though we've never met. I
meant on me. As anyone who's met me can attest, I am one svelte specimen of
masculinity.

You kept the socks? I am duly impressed.

No, I wasn't in no war, nohow. I was in during a "police action." But
never got closer to Korea than El Toro Marine Air Station.

And that's no bull!

The Commandant of the Marine Corps didn't think the situation was so
desperate that he needed to send the likes of me over there.

Someone had to keep the homefires burning and the local women amused.

If he had socks, he wasn't lonely!

Didn't Bill Clinton have a dog named Socks? Hmmmm. . .

On another and even more ridiculous note, I found this in my quest for facts:
