Howard Stern sick joke about Vietnam veterans in the jungle

Howard Stern left New York for Boston, not Vietnam.

"Howard dominated his high school years by staying close with a few buddies, playing poker and ping-pong. In the fall of 1972, Stern left New York and enrolled at Boston University where the first hints of his future "shock jock" career would make a showing."

Howard Stern is not happy that David Letterman is on speaking terms with Jay Leno. When the radio host appeared on the Late Show Friday night, he was shocked to find out that the two late night rivals have spoken on the phone, when Stern himself is still fighting the late night wars on Letterman’s behalf.

“I know I bring up Jay Leno every time I come on here,” Stern told Letterman. “But this is blowing my mind.” When Letterman confirmed that he has spoken to Leno on the phone, Stern threw up his hands and said, “Well, I’m out of here! I give up!” Using an analogy that is likely to rub some people the wrong way, Stern said he feels like a “Vietnam veteran” who’s still fighting Letterman’s war.
