ORIGINAL: Cap Mandrake ********Wendover (AKA "Bendover" Field), Utah, April 2, 1942******* Lt. Col. Larsen, CO, USAAF 132nd Engineers: <inspecting approaches to base at dusk. Hops out of Jeep and approaches a sentry in combat fatigues manning a "Ma Duece" behind sandbags> See anything, son? Sentry: Not a soul, sir. Just some CAY-yotes, sir. Lt. Col. Larsen, CO, USAAF 132nd Engineers: Save your ammo, soldier. You will need it for the enemy. Sentry: You mean the Japs, sir? Lt. Col. Larsen, CO, USAAF 132nd Engineers: Yes, the Japs or the Nazis. They just shot five of 'em in front of a friggin' firing squad yesterday in New Jersey. The bastards swam ashore from a Nazi sub or some such thing. Civilian clothes, no less. God damned Godless bastards. Serves 'em right. Sentry: You think they will come tonight, sir? Lt. Col. Larsen, CO, USAAF 132nd Engineers: Never know, son, never know. Your Goddamned devious Goddless Orientals can't be trusted to play by the MARkee of Queensbarry rules. Well, son, you can rest assured GOD is on OUR side. <turns to leave> OH..AND DON'T LET ANY OF THOSE CRAZY MORMONS ON THE BASE EITHER............ Lt. Col. Larsen, CO, USAAF 132nd Engineers: Mandrake, you don't suppose any of those new B-29s based at Wendover out there practicing touch-and-gos with that demanding Col. Tibbetts are sneaking in saboteurs (excuse me , I meant to say "undocumented immigrants") under a side contract with M&M Enterprises' Displaced Persons Humanitarian Transport Division, do you?
