A man is at a banquet with other veterans Bob is at a banquet with other veterans of various conflicts. He had history in the Angolan Civil War, but was ashamed to only be an "in the wire" medic and not seeing much action. Bob sees another vet, Rich, who goes on about a perilous journey during Vietnam, resulting in explosions, gunfights, anything a good war story comprises of. Rich turns to Bob and asks, "Whattabout you?" Bob goes pale, and scrambles for a story. He quickly thinks one up and begins. "When I was in Africa... I was in the base pulling a guard shift. I hear movement in the bushes and-- you wouldn't believe it, a LION shows up and starts walking towards me. As he got close, I shined my flashlight at him, which caused him to stand up--" Bob distorts his face into one of anger, and imitates the lion, letting out a hearty ROOOARRR! "... I shit my pants..." Rich chuckles, "Yeah man, Lion get that close to me and I'd shit my pants too" Bob turns to walk away, "No. I pushed too hard on that roar"
