ADS-L Digest - 24 Jul 2005 to 25 Jul 2005 (#2005-207) WARNING: WAY OFF-TOPIC

[Joanne M. Despres]

Your thread about military slogans reminded me of a funny sendup
of one of them that I saw a few (well, actually, quite a few) years
ago in Harper's Magazine.  The editors of the magazine had
commissioned some of the top U.S. advertising agencies to write
ads promoting the seven deadly sins.  The spread for gluttony
showed a huge man jumping off a diving board into a swimming
pool under the caption, "Be All That You Can Be."

I wonder what other images that slogan might have conjured up in
the minds of waggish soldiers.
