The Army National Guard wants me to join
I just got a broadcast e-mail from them. Seems they're saving a CD and a t-shirt for me. No one noticed that I'm a 56 year old woman with arthiritic knees, I guess.

1. Well, you'd get a free trip to overseas ...all expenses paid...
"visit Iraq, while it's still there..."

They are getting so desperate that they are sending mail to every one without checking.

I work for Kaiser Permanente and have good health coverage. I'll get drugs at work, thanks. :)

On edit, I'm not a doctor or nurse, so they can't get me that way.

5. Mrs Ernesto is a Kaiser UNION nurse
She never thought that she would be soooo happy to be over 35 years of age!

3. geez!
I was joking with my wife last night that maybe they'll call me back up, I'm 54 and an army vet. Now it looks like it may not be such a joke after all.
