"So, Grampa, what did you do during GWII?"
"Well, son, lemme tell you about the time we were surrounded by the enemy after we captured a key bridge. It was overwhelming. We had no place to hide. It was either jump or be captured."
"Wow, gramps. It must have been awful."
"You'll never know, son. It pains me to even think about it. There we were. All hunkered down, huddled together expecting the worse. And then it happened."
"What, gramps? Tell me, tell me."

"Oooh, that looks horrible, gramps. It looks like . . ."
"Yup! They hit us with the water cannons. It peeled off two inches of crud. But I was lucky. My buddy got the full blast. The last time I saw him he was laying in the road completely naked . . . beyond recognition . . . shivering like an earth worm under a water faucet. The horror!"
"How'd they treat you after they rounded you up?"
"Oh, not too bad. They sent us all to the city dump for re-hab until the war was over."
