"For the sake of everything you now presently take for granted, give up all ideas of volunteering for the draft: or for anything military. It is a way of life which was never meant for our type. Being almost wholly composed of dullards and intellectual sluggards, it is a painful hell for anyone with an I.Q over 80. Be a beachcomber, a parisian wino, an Italian pimp, or a danish pervert; but stay away from the Armed Forces. It is a catch-all for people who regard every tomorrow as a hammer swinging at the head of man, and whose oustanding traitis a fearful mistrust of everything out of the ordinary. Should you volunteer, it will be two years lost in a sea of ignorance."

Hunter S. is severly underrated as a serious author.

I have read a lot if his writing recently.

erin, we shall party like the olsen twins in London.
