Sorry for lack of post yesterday. Will be going on a brief hiatus for about two weeks. Now without ado…….
RUMORS
“Sounds harmless enough. Innocent stuff.”
This short starts up in the latrine. Snafu is there, and one of his friends mentions that the day is “nice for a bombing.” Snafu thinks about this. Here we see the birth of a rumor. All it needs is to be released into another ear. Snafu tells another soldier that he’s heard they’re in for a bombing. (Okay? He heard the guy say point blank it was a nice day for a bombing, not that it was happening. I just feel Snafu should have heard it in passing for me to believe him twisting the story so asininely.)
The rumor gets bigger and bigger and begins to multiply. Soon, it becomes sentient. (I just want to point out that these rumors are the stuff of nightmares. And it’s awesome.) They soon catch up to Snafu, and they escalate even more and more. They’ve now grown into ‘all the allies giving up’, to ‘us losing the war’. But if you know the history books, then you know we “won”. However, Snafu and the rest of the camp are quarantined with “Rumoritis” leaving him stuck in there with those monstrosities.

SNAFUPERMAN
“Enemies of democracy: Beware!”
While the rest of the camp is keeping busy, Snafu is busy screwing around. He tells his comardes that studying is a waste and that action is all that’s needed. In comes a sprite known as Technical Fairy First Class. (What a mouthful.) He decides to put Snafu’s money where his mouth is, and turns him into a superhero. Snafu takes a bomb addressed to Adolf and leaves for Berlin. Since he did not take a map, he almost drops it on the capitol. (He couldn’t tell he never left the continent?) T.F.F.C. brings it back, before it can do lasting harm.
Later, Snafu sees a tank and rips it open. Only to find it’s an American tank. (While he should have known that, what was the tank doing here?) Then a mess of messerschmits come along and drop their bombs. Snafu grabs them all and sets them down safely. Turns out they were delayed reaction bombs, and they blow up sending him to the infirmary. (Snafuper doesn’t mean invincible.) There, he yells for T.F.F.C. to bring him a field manual. (Aww, he learned his lesson.)

So next time, I’ll be talking about something I’ve wanted to talk about since I started the blog. See you after the break.
