A/N-I'm sorry, I have been busy and to be honest, this one had me stumped...for awhile...on the show, 'Howard, the date'. Howard came back ( from the cruise ) to find Mary Jo and through feeling sorry for Howard, all four girls were his date for his high school reunion. One man named Doug Latrill came and introduced himself and started right off making fun of Howard, Mary Jo fixed that quickly fixed that right off by asking him did he say his named was Latrine? So I came up with this little bit. Please read and enjoy. I know that in the 80's, the age range to join the army was night as high as it is now, but use your imagination.
Doug was fuming. Those women that were with Howard for the reunion had implied that his life was boring. Maybe it was but not anymore.
Doug had joined the army so his life was sure to be full of adventure ! Desert Storm was over with but he had been shipped to the desert He was sure he would have plenty to do.
"Latrill!"
Doug turned around and a man that he recognized as a major in his unit was coming. He did a military salute and stayed in position until the man until he saluted back then he said,
"Latrill, are you ready to do your service to the U.S. government?" "Yes sir, Major Stuart! Yes sir!" "Good! Here!"
He hands him a heavy duty shovel then says,
"Get going! They need you!"
Doug was confused then he asks,
"Uh, sir?"
The Major was getting irritated and said,
"It's a shovel Latrill, do you not know that?"
Doug was taken aback and said,
"Yes sir, I know but…."
The Major points with his thumb back to some guys already working, doing jobs then he says,
"They need help building so get over there!" "Yes sir, may I ask what we are building?"
The Major looks at him and says,
"The latrine"
Doug was left thinking to himself as he turned to go to work,
'Yes, my life will be an adventure' Sarcastically thought Doug.
