Notes |
- Memory of her father by Ruth Mitchell
My father, John Mitchell Jr., was anxious to enlist and serve in Word War I.
Because he was quite thin, he was afraid that he would not make the weight minimum. To get around this problem, he ate a large number of bananas before going to the draft office.
Eating bananas, he had heard, would result in an instant weight gain. Unfortunately, he hadn't made allowances for the instant new girth which suddenly appeared.
Since he could no longer button his pants, he was forced to go to the draft board in an overcoat... on a very warm day!
