For all those soldiers that have been stationed at Ft Polk or who have been to JRTC
-Bless this house, oh Lord, we cry.
-Please keep it cool in mid-July.
-Bless the walls where termites dine,
-While ants and roaches march in time.
-Bless our yard where spiders pass
-Fire ant castles in the grass.
-Bless the garage, a home to please
-Carpenter beetles, ticks and fleas.
-Bless the love bugs, two by two, the gnats and mosquitoes that feed on you.
-Millions of creatures that fly or crawl, in Lousiana, Lord, you've put them all!!
-But this is home, and here we'll stay,
-So thank you Lord, for insect spray!
Note: If you are not a resident of Louisiana or never have lived in the hot, humid South, you may not understand the weight of this blessing!

No shit story-Bugsy wrote:My first impression of Polk............holy shit they got flyin fuckin cockroaches down here WTF is up with THAT!?!
When I was about ten, my mother decided it would be a good idea to move from rural Rhode Island to Florida. I had never seen a cockroach in my life up to that point. As I'm getting ready to stick my feet under the covers the first night we arrive, a giant fuck cockroach comes flying out from under the covers and directly at my face. So what does my mother say?
"Careful, those can bite you"
This probably explains soooo much.

While my Mississippi upbringing taught me that these things exist, I can assure you that while it may be bad down there at Polk, it's just as bad up here at Campbell. Those dirty little beetles are everywhere, wolf spiders run rampant, and pine roaches (better known as big ass cockroaches) are taking over the base......
It's almost enough to make one want to go North.... almost....

Wait, there's more!
YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN LOUISIANA IN JULY WHEN. . .
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
Hot water now comes out of both taps.
You can make sun tea instantly.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
The cows are giving evaporated milk.
Ah, what a place to call home.
God Bless Our State of LOUISIANA!!
