An old joke from Legion Magazine’s precursor, The Legionary, tells of an old war veteran returned to his home town for a banquet given by his army buddies. He expected them to talk over old times, but one talked incessantly about his bad liver, another couldn’t keep quiet about his weak heart and a third droned on about his kidney problems. Returning home, his wife asked him how he enjoyed the banquet. “Banquet!” he snorted. “It wasn’t a banquet; it was an organ recital.”
