#3 A few years ago, I stood on Omaha Beach with family and an excellent French guide. Over on our right, less than 100 yards away, on the bluff was a dark spot that was a machine gun nest. On the left, another similar site. Murderous cross fire.

Amazing anybody got past that.

#6 Brave villagers fighting a flood
Were up to their knees in the mud
When the hurricane hit
And blew all of that shit
Out of town, leaving ankle-deep blood.

And then the nuke-enforced eye and the Cold War, I guess. ;-)
