VFW Post 3107 Adjutant Courtney Anderson addressed a good crowd on

hand for the VFW Post 3107 and American Legion Post 41’s Veterans Day
Program this past Monday. The program seemed to go quickly because it
was so darned interesting. American Legion’s Joe Yeoman wrapped it up by
stressing how important it is to vote. “If you don’t vote — you can’t bitch,” he
said. But it’s probably safe to say everyone in attendance did their patriotic
duties and exercised their right to vote. Following TAPS, it was on to a fantastic
lunch. Meatloaf, with the beef provided by Joe Yeoman, was deliciously
prepared by Post Chaplain Jason Myers (and what a chef he is, the cheesy
potatoes were out of this world), and there was no shortage of side dishes and
desserts brought in by those who came to the program. If you’ve never been
to a Veterans Day program, you’re missing out. You just might learn something
about this great nation. Thank you Veterans, for your service and our freedoms! Maury Graham’s cap says a lot!

‘How’s It Going’ By Actually

Explaining How It’s Going
GAINESVILLE, FL — Sources close to local man
Jerry Smathers said the 25-year-old revealed himself
to be a total sociopath after he responded to his
friend’s casual greeting of “How’s it going?” by
actually explaining how his life was going.
According to Brad Salk, the friend on the
receiving end of Smathers’s explanation, the clearly
disturbed man cast aside all cultural norms and
launched into an extended monologue about the
state of his life.
“I was just saying ‘hi’ by asking him ‘How’s it
going?’ but I guess he took it literally,” Salk said. “And
he was over there telling me about how his wife is
holding a garage sale this weekend and he’s dealing
with a case of athlete’s foot. I didn’t know how to
respond. I wasn’t really interested in hearing how it’s
going. Who does that?”
According to other friends, Smathers had
displayed an increasingly disturbing tendency to
actually respond to their questions of “What’s up?”
and “What’s new with you?” by inexplicably telling
them what was up and what was new with him.
“Textbook sociopath,” said Jacob Manning,
another friend. “No one wants to be associated with
someone like that. If you want to tell people what’s
really going on in your life, that’s what therapists are
for.”
At publishing time, Smathers’s friends revealed
that they had agreed to take great care to never greet
him by asking “How’s it hanging?”
