"Troop Train Ernie" |
|
June 1967 |
Show Summary:
| Shep tells the story about being put
on a troop train to an unknown destination and having to put in 24
hours of KP. He, and Gasser, and Ernie dish out the food to a train
load of GIs. They finish their KP duties just as the train stops for
water. Looking out over the landscape they see a store with a sign
that says one word - "BEER". Shep offers to pay and Ernie loses the
coin toss to get the beer. He heads down the embankment to buy three
cans of beer, wearing only his shoes and army issue boxer shorts. As
he is inside buying the beer, the train begins to move again and
seeing this he begins the chase. Shep and Gasser are yelling from
the train to run faster. Ernie chases the train, his dogtags
flapping, but loses the race dropping back into the distance, never
to be heard from again. |
