The LATimes interview with him is hilarious too.
The guy complains how ridiculous it is that people are making a big deal of his picture. He complains about running out of cigarettes and asks Marlboro to lower the price or send some. He smokes 3 packs a day and his Navy doctor says the cigs will kill him before the war. He's from a town called "Joenancy" which is named after... his married ancestors Joe and Nancy. He says when he gets home he just wants to smoke cigarettes on his roof and fix things around the house for a while.
