A wartime spoof outlines a comically wrong guide for overseas personnel now assigned to the United States. It mocks geography politics money customs hotels and food with absurd tips and warnings about daily life and safety.
The guide advises eating raw potatoes carrots spinach and turnips with soil still on them and washing before eating. It warns against tampering with steak and jokes about SPAM, water from faucets, and carrying chlorine and gasoline for safety. It lampoons drinking customs and slang, notes old whiskeys ruin stomachs, and mocks Brooklynese and national politics. the tone is satirical and instructional.
