GOTTA LOVE PICKLES!

        In today's Des Moines Register was a good one in PIckles Comic Strip' Old Earl is sitting on an outdoor bench somewhere talking to a guy next to him.

       Earl says--"It was a terrible sight. I doubt I can ever get it out of my mind. More than a dozen men sitting, waiting hopeless and dejected. The look in their eyes haunts me still and I was one of them!"  The guy says--"Where was this, a prisoner of war camp or something?"   Earl says--"No, The Outlet Mall, waiting for our wives."
