An Army Of Fun

At the Bay Shore train station last Friday, an Army recruiter leafletted all the cars in the lot. We all got some recruiting info and a great Army Of One bumper sticker!

This shows how desperate the recruitment effort has become. Think about the demographics of the cars parked at Bay Shore. You have 1. People with jobs in the city, and 2. people who've left their cars for weekend vacations on Fire Island. These are just about the least likely citizens to suddenly say "Damn, I gotta get over to Iraq now!" They either disagree with the war, or they're chickenhawks. Either way, this has to be one of the lowest-return sites they could find.

In the future, might I suggest the Wal-Mart parking lot in Hauppauge? It's where people shop when they're too lame/stupid to drive down the street to Target or Costco. You might have some results there. Yeah, sorry I'm picking on Wal-Mart. They're crap.
