"Yummy for the tummy" is the title of this chapter's opening dialogue, and it's a reference to the bakery where the action takes place. It's the bakery's bread that's being used as the food for the army, navy, air force, and salvation army . The narrator tells us that he's going to enlist in the army soon. He's wearing a pinhead and a captain's uniform, and he wants to look like his hero. He wants to make sure that his costume is exactly the same as his hero's, so he figures out that the pinhead is reporting for duty, and the captain is wearing a cap. He thinks this is a great idea, since he'll be able to help people who are too weak and helpless to do anything for themselves. He asks the bakery owner if he can enlist in his own army. The bakery owner tells him that he can, but he needs to pay for his own uniform. He also tells the narrator that he forgot to bring his cap with him when he went to the army boot camp. The baker tells him not to worry, since the captain will always be there to help him. He says that the baker is always on his case, which is why they call him "janey jinx." The baker says that he doesn't have to worry about the cap, because the captain always has a special menu for him to eat. He tells the baker that the captain devotes his whole life to helping people who need help, so the baker should give him two of his special menu items. He then asks the baker if he could enlist, but the baker says no, since they didn't get the cap with the special menu item that they ordered. He adds that he warned the baker not to order the cap because the baker's piano would fall on him, and that he should have ordered the cap
