Dear
Peter Pan Peanut Butter Manufacturers,
I am currently out to sea floating around in circles defending the American
Way of Life. I am serving in the United States Navy upon an Oiler homeported
out of Norfolk Va. The reason I am writing you this letter is three-fold.....
1. I am bored,
2. I'm hoping you will send me lots of free stuff,
3. To let you know how your peanut butter is responsible for saving the
lives of many, including me.
We are usually out to sea Monday thru Friday. We try to get home one or
two weekends a month. All those stories you hear about how good Navy Chow
is are lies. I have been on active duty for 17 years. The motto of the
Navy's Cooks is "Death from Within". They do their damnedest
to try and live up to that motto. I'm telling you, If this were a prison
instead of a mighty warship, I would start begging for the lethal injection.
All the jobs in the Navy are passed out by aptitude tests. If you are
too stupid to chip paint, you get to be a Navy Cook. An example of our
menu items....
- Hamburgers
(with some real beef contents) over cooked so that they are bowl shaped
and crispy on the edges.
- French
Fries that are still frozen in the middle.
- Fishheads
in Orange Hollondaise sauce. (At least I think that's what that crap
was they tried to feed us last night)
- Pancakes
that double as emergency tire repair kits.
- Chili
that has no chili powder in it, but is loaded with hot sauce. Gauranteed
to give you an ulcer.
- These
people can even mess up Kool-Aid. What kind of idiot can't make Kool-Aid?
There is usually not enough water or sugar. It's like drinking Green
Persimmion juice. It takes about one hour after drinking this Kool-Aid
for your mouth to unpucker enough to fit a cigarette between your lips.
But if we are lucky, we might have a jar of Peter Pan Extra Crunchy Peanut
butter. Put some of this on a World War II era chewy stale saltine cracker
and you would swear that you just sat down for dinner at Spago's.
It has been said, numerous times upon my mighty warship, that Peter Pan
deserves some kind of medal. I agree. He is the best cook we have on board.
As long as we have Peter Pan Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter available, That
means I don't have to catch me a seagull and bite it's head off to maintain
the strength necessary to defend the free world.
Your Hunts Ketchup helps as well. Everything we eat gets covered in ketchup.
Hell, some of us even eat Ketchup sandwiches. Dog Turds are even palatable
when covered by enough ketchup. (Dog Turds would be a welcome break from
what they are trying to feed us for lunch)
So keep making that Peanut Butter. Keep selling it to the Navy. And be
proud of the patriotic duty that you are doing for your country. Keeping
the Men and Women of the worlds Greatest Navy from starving to death.
God Bless Peter Pan
