Speaking of the plumber's unit, reminds me of old G. Gordon. Here is a guy who is a convicted felon and he has the audacity to try and take the moral high ground. I know, I know...he was a good soldier who kept his mouth shut and never broke down after being captured by the "enemy"...a real hero.

2 little tidbits on Gordon and actually they are kind of incredible, in a Joseph "Triumph of the Will" Goebbels kind of way:

To impress a dinner date, he once took his hand and rested it atop the flame of the dinner table candle and held it there until the flesh burned.

As a child, he had a deathly fear of rats. To cure it, he caught a rat, killed it, and roasted it in the fireplace, and then ate it. He then turned to his family's cat and said: "They fear you...now they fear me"

How appropriate that the title of his book was "Will"
