“Hey Gunny”, I got the pictures back today from our ball last week. Here’s a real good one showing me dancing with your sister. Do you think I should ask her out again?

“Gunney, I know you’re extremely busy shuffling paperwork around, but this is my special request chit for getting today off so I can get my pet bird washed”.
I’ve been recommended for an award and I know you were not there, but I need someone to sign my 4187 cause it has to be turned in within the next 15 minutes. Can you sign it Gunny?
