I like to keep everything ship-shape and above board. Sure, I'd be lying if I told ya I never took an extra apple from the mess hall. I can show ya my honorable discharge certificate, if ya'd like to see it. As a matter of course, it's signed by the Secretary of the Navy who was there in '48. I woulda been out sooner, but I stayed in after the war. He was a stand-up guy and that's reflected in the fact that he signed it. Some of the guys wanted one with Truman on it. A lot of the ships were sold for scrap in those days. We used to say "Hi-yo, that's a-hoppie!" every time we saw them haul another one off to the junk heap.(posted 8505 days ago)Anyway, so Casey sure does seem like a nice fella.
