Entomologist eh, civilian? I can tell you've been in the wars, maybe not on the field of battle, but no doubt you've taken one too many bad taste jokes to the brain. I left my sense of humour back in saigon, on the desert floor, cabbage white butterflies the size of dinner plates swarmin' every which way, chewin' our faces off in the heat of the day with their teeth, water voles eatin us alive by the pale light of that massive planet, our nearest celestial neighbour, Pluto. Sometimes, civilian, laughter is the best medicine, civilian, but sometimes it can kill a man as sure as any Ak37, and i've seen a man laugh his head clean off during an Irish joke. Have you ever eaten apple custard, civilian? I'm not talking about a sweet pudding your mother makes but the brains of your enemy, fried up and served in a bun made of mud, with tsetse fly spray for sauce...it was the taste of death and the loss of our mental virginity.
