Dear John

A squaddie stationed in Iraq recently received this "Dear John" letter from his girlfriend back home:

Dear Jack,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.


Love, Becky



The squaddie, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters, ex-girlfriends, aunts, cousins etc. In addition to the picture of Becky, Jack included all the other pictures of the pretty girls he had collected from his mates.
There were 57 photos in that envelope, along with this note:



Dear Becky,

I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who you are. Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

Take Care, Jack
