Now we learning dat de Pee Pee Pee Cee government gan be finding jobs fuh some of dem persons wah retired from de army. So what dat mean? Dem nah gat no young person who can do de job?

“Sure!” says the 85 year old brother-in-law.
“Where did it go?” asked the man
“I can’t remember,” said the brother-in-law.
