Having been in battle in the South Pacific for nearly four months, the Marines finally drove the Japanese from Guam. A few days later, the USO troop arrived with a famous comedian, an emcee, a dance company and a beautiful sexy leading lady, noted for her sensual dancing. The Marines were seated in the makeshift theatre when the emcee introduced the leading lady to start the show. She was greeted with cheers, whistles, and applause. When she stepped out of her dressing gown to reveal only a two-piece bathing suit, the troops erupted into another round of applause. When she began dancing, she slipped off her top and the troops went wild with whistles and thunderous applause. The emcee came out onstage and asked the boys to hold the noise down until the number was over so the lady could hear the music while she danced. Then when she stepped out of the bottom of her two-piece as she continued to dance, the troops roared with cheers and applause. Again the emcee asked the troops to keep the volume down. When the number ended, the emcee expected the applause to be deafening, so when the young lady came off the stage to total silence, he asked her why there was no clapping from the crowd. “Honey,” she smiled, “How do you expect those boys to clap with one hand!!!” | ||
