Spying on the enemy...

[bayouace]

Cool. "That'd be a whuppin' offense."
I have often wondered how many orchards and cornfields got cleaned out by an army passing by.

 

[Nathan Stuart]

The placement of that outwardly pointed gun barrel next to these canned foodstuffs atop the chest looks ominous.

 

[Jim in Wisconsin]

It appears to be a Remington.

Couldn't help myself, had to quote Captain Sobel…"Lieutenant Nixon thinks this is a can of peaches. That is incorrect, Lieutenant. Your weekend pass is revoked. This is United States Army property which was taken without authorization from my mess facility. And I will not tolerate thievery in my unit.'

"Well young fellow, Let me tell you..... "

 

[Lampasas Bill]

Well there was an old soldier and he had a wooden leg.
He had no tobacco, but tobacco he could beg.
Another old soldier was as sly as a fox.
He always had tobacco in his old tobacco box.

Said the first old soldier "won't you give me a chew?"
Said the second old soldier "I'll be damned if I do!"
"Save up your money and put it in a sock
And you'll always have tobacco in your old tobacco box."

The first old soldier was feeling pretty mad.
He said "I'll get me revenge by gad!"
So he went to the corner, took a hatchet from a peg,
And he stabbed the other soldier with a splinter from his leg!

The one place where the Yankees had more tobacco that their southern counterparts was Port Hudson. Being besieged, the southerners exhausted their stock.
