Signed up for a subscription to life

I remember many years ago when my girlfriend decided to send away a subscription on "How to Enlarge Your Bust Size" and a few weeks later
all she got was a photo of some man's hand. We still laugh about it .
 

And how come the cream they sold at the back of those old Girly Mags to make your Johnson bigger...never made your hand bigger??
 
We used to get Life magazine and National Geographic when I was a teenager, and I personally had a subscription to Motor Trend and Road & Track. I sometimes miss those days.

I also had comic books Anyone remember Sea Monkeys?
 
Beezer - I wouldn't know about that, when we were young they never had mags for the girls with naked men in them. The closest we had was back in the 60's in CLeo magazine was a nude centrefold of the actor Jack Thompson which caused a stir with the ladies.

I did not know they were still publishing Life magazine. You are lucky. It has a great legacy.

I was in a thrift shop a few weeks ago and there was a June 28,1943 edition of Life magazine, which I purchased. A lot of interesting stuff on the war, and in the folds of the magazine I found a returned, open, empty envelope dated May 12, addressed to S/Sgt Jack Swan, 18th Reconn. Sqd’n. Sender was a Nyna Swan, Elmira Ny. The envelope was stamped
”Return to Sender” with another stamp in red — “MISSING
Ralph L. Morgan, Ch. W.O., AG-Casualty HQ-USAFIA”.

This is a copy of Life I will never forget. It and the envelope belong in a WW2 archive.

Yikes! i had briefly researched the name when I found the envelope, and found nothing, but after I posted this I searched again from a different angle, and YIKES! Here is THE envelope, and more! How it got to a California thrift shop is a mystery.

I climbed up a Himalayan mountaintop to seek a holy man. I asked him what was the meaning of life.

”Life’s a magazine,” he expounded.

”That’s all?,” I replied incredulously. “I traveled thousands of miles, and you can only say that life’s a magazine?!”

”Would you believe…a bowl of cherries?,” he offered.

This is why I no longer seek wise guys… 😩
