Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for September 07, 2023

All she’ll need is to give them her true age.

Hasn’t she already been in the USMC ?

The Marines want their underwear back.

At 1500 she’s too old to serve in the US military. I hear the Russian army is pretty desperate at the moment… Check the stamp, Broomie. Where’s it from?

uh…..drafted?

what is this, 1968?

Broomie drafted? Great—she could ZAP Putin!!

Was gonna go with Jury Duty, but drafted is WAAAAY better!

At least you’re only getting bills, in some homes they get “Williams”…

Looks like we’re resorting to unconventional weapons.

Well it has to be the Marines—she’s already got the underwear!

I guess at over 1500 years old, getting drafted might be quite a compliment.

I bet she’s 4F…

There are worse things. Also a reserve draft board still exists, AS DOES the requirement for 18 year old males to still register for it. I hope that it never has to be activated but with all the world’s tensions, l would not be surprised…..

From the “Broom-Hilda” Wiki:

She served in the United States Marine Corps for two days and was discharged for unnecessary roughness (glimpses of her underpants reveal a USMC label).

Drafter to WHAT? A RETIREMENT HOME FOR GRUMPY WITCHES?!

I got one of those….just a little over 52 years ago.

Had a guy get one in my platoon at mailcall in Vietnam.

Just a different kind of junk mail, Broomie.

I wouldn’t worry Broomie, I doubt you can pass the physical.

The military will take anybody, lookit some of the ex-military cops, like the cretin who gave you your last ticket…

So Broomie’s a draft codger?

I thought she was too old to join the military.

Yeah, it is a bill, an expensive one to pay.

Georgia is really looking hard for jurors who are unaware of the situation.

There are so many reasons she’d never make it TO boot camp, to say nothing of making it THROUGH boot camp.

I knew the U.S. armed forces were having troubles with recruiting, but this is going too far! Who wants a very short and rotund 1500+ year-old klutzy witch in the foxhole next to him?

It may refer to a draft that Marylin Monroe received over that city grate.
