love it!
I wish I was that badass! -
In August of 1943, while serving as skipper of the PT-109, Kennedy's boat was ripped in two by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri. Kennedy and his crew were tossed into the water and surrounded by flames. Kennedy, despite a chronic back injury and an even more chronic boning-induced-exhaustion, managed to swim four hours to safety while towing an injured crewman by the life jacket strap with his teeth. His fucking teeth!
That has to be my favorite, his fucking teeth! Ooh, except for this part about Teddy Roosevelt.Did we mention he had asthma growing up? He did, and after he beat asthma to death, he ate asthma's raw flesh and ran 100 straight miles off the energy it gave him.

"...even more chronic boning-induced-exhaustion"
Boning-induced exhaustion sounds Kennedyesque for sure :roll:
Howdy, Stranger!
