Booby Traps

One of my favorite authors is Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. My personal favorite is Horton Hears a Who. I think everyone should read it on a regular basis.

Before the good doctor (Seuss I mean, not Gonzo, my other favorite doctor) wrote the childrens books I read to my boys, he made a series of short training films for the Navy called Private Snafu, during World War II. SNAFU is an acronym for Situation Normal- All Fucked Up. Prive Snafu has two brothers, Tarfu (Things Are Really Fucked Up) and Fubar (Fucked Up Beyond All Recovery). Isn't that great?

Here's one I liked. It must have been pretty risque back then.
