The Ultimate "Dear John" Letter


This would just be to cool to be true but it makes a great story.


There was a Marine deployed to Afghanistan. While he was there he
received aletter from his girlfriend. In the letter she explained that she had
slept with two guys while he had been gone and she wanted to break up. AND she
wants pictures of herself back.


So the Marine does what any squared-away Marine would do. He went around
to his buddies and collected all the unwanted photos of women he could
find. He then mailed about 25 pictures of naked women to his girlfriend with the
following note: "I don't remember which one you are. Please remove your picture and send the rest back ."

Let's say it is true, sure sounds like it could be.

I got my Dear John while at Shepherd... good ole Mary Ann Jones.

That marine shure did quiite a job of oneupsmanship! He also should have told the wayward gal that he discovered that two of the gals depicted had advanced clap, and if she would kindly let him know which of the pictures she represented, he would let her and her new boyfriend know if she came before or after the infected ones!

ouch & lol

Dear Johns, though perhaps a bit unsettling at the time, provide a wonderful social service of sorting the flyshit from the pepper. Having witnessed the ritual quite a number of times it almost got to the level of black humor as to who was going to get it when the mail bags started coming aboard. The saying of the time was ?There it is, Jody done got my gal, f**k it, it don?t mean nothin?. But that axe cut both ways so I didn?t get to anxious about anybody being told to shove off as it was all as common as pig tracks and to be expected. Most often the ?Janes? didn?t get a letter, just ignored until they got the message.

The Marine response sounds about right but maybe a barracks legion or a sea story, who knows, but very clever given the circumstances. If true, he should count his blessings. What kind of insensitive nitwit would ask for a picture back? I never heard of that kind of request. Rings and do-dads, yes, but never a picture. Hmm, maybe a bullet has been dodged, I?m thinking.

That is a Hoot! Can't wait to spread that around here.

PS We have a sense of humor down here. Come on down and sign into a hotel as William T. Sherman. We'll show you how funny we can really get!


Shannon didn't get past a couple of days of her freshman year when she quit. She refused to get a haircut so hence the bumber sticker "SHAVE THE WHALE". Also had one "SAVE THE MALES" I must say my pick-up truck, of course, had both on them.

Once while in Mass I was introduced to one of your many WTBS statues. I thanked the guide for showing me your beautiful awards for Confederate marksmanship. Nobody laughed. We must have caught our audiances on bad days.

Take care!

Dear Johns could be trouble but on the other hand we had a guy in the Plt. who's beautiful girlfriend would send him lots of nakked ( naked is when you are nude , nakked is nude with intent ) pictures of herself. Thank goodness he shared.

Ooh, bad boys, bad boys.

I heard an awful story when I was in the Army during Desert Storm. A male soldier received a video tape from his wife. He was anxious to watch the video tape containing his wife and kids. The only VCR and TV around was community shared. He invited his platoon to watch his video as he was a doting dad.

He pressed the VCR "ON" button and wow what a show he saw. His old lady taped her and her new found love in bed. They taped themselves in the most compromising positions. If that wasn't enough to make a man go crazy, she asked for a divorce at the end of the tape. Needless to say, the poor guy went nuts and the room looked like a hurricane hit.

We had this one guy in Basic who jumped on a plane to San Antonio the day after he returned from his honeymoon. Needless to say, after a couple of weeks in Texas he was hotter than the climate, so much so that if we dropped a coin near him we didn't dare bend over and pick it up!:ek: One day at mailcall he received a rather thick envelope which contained photos of her, no nudes but in some very provocative positions wearingsmall bikinis and lingerie. And she was some babe! Long, wavy black hair, a bod like the Playmate of the Month...and only 18! So he starts braggin' and showin' off the pics and he hands them to me (being the artiste that I am I appreciated the way they were...ahem...framed). After intensely studying them I noticed a shadow on the wall and I asked him who was taking the pictures. He started to say something, stopped, turned red and stormed out to the pay phones outside. He came back smiling saying that they were taken by her cousin. I asked, a guy cousin or a girl cousin...back to the phones. He returned saying it was her cousin, Justine and cursed me for putting doubts in his mind. A few days later he was overheard in the latrine making noises like he'd taken a dose of castor oil. He exited the stall still holding some of the photos. Talk about lonely!

Packo: I'm not sure but I think you've responded to the wrong post, but I'm glad you appreciated it.
