I couldn't resist this image for this week's
posting! We went to the store last week to purchase our Thanksgiving
turkey and I had flash backs of times back home. Every year when the
Turkeys and Hams arrived at the commy, most of them ended up
downtown. I remember contraband in the Canal Zone days and it
continued up until the end at the Army Commissary. I remembered that
I had a t-shirt in my dresser drawer that had this comical little scene
above. Not scanned is the captions that go with the image. On
top of the image it says, "In the United States Turkey Means
Thanksgiving" and then under the image it says, "In the
Panama Canal Zone It Means Contraband". The guy running in
the back has a hat on that says Zonian. This is a classic! I wonder
where they get their turkeys and hams today?
