A young man enlisted, and was sent to his regiment. The first night he was in the barracks with about fifteen other young men, who passed the time playing cards and gambling. Before retiring, he fell on his knees and prayed, and they began to curse him and jeer at him and throw boots at him. So it

Any adults here remember the television show, "Emergency?"¨
That was my ultra-favorite show. And at times I wish I had TV Land on my TV so I could watch it still.
