Speaking about thirsty Al its different over here then at home because when a man in uniform wants a drink over here you don’t half to hire no room in a hotel and put on your nightgown but you can get it here in your uniform only what they call beer here we would pore it on our wheat cakes at home and they got 2 kinds of wine red and white that you could climb outside of a bbl. of it without asking the head waiter to have them play “ the Rosery .” But they say the champagne is OK and I am going to tackle it when I get a chance and you may think from that that I have got jack to throw away but over here Al is where they make the champagne and you can get a qt. of it for about a buck or ½ what you would pay for it in the U.S. and besides that the money they got here is a frank instead of a dollar and a frank isn’t only worth about $.19 cents so a man can have a whole lot better time here and not cost him near as much.
