“Put about ten ounces of shrapnel in my hip.” He laughed attempting feebly to make it sound genuine. “I didn’t even know until they tried to pull me out of my truck.” He let out another humorless chuckle, shaking his head. "We got shwacked like six miles outside the city. I thought I pissed myself at first, my seat was all hot and wet, couldn't move my leg, then they came to yank me out...there was a shard stuck in the bone. I never screamed so hard in my whole fuckin life.” He chuckled humorlessly as he searched his pockets for a cigarette.
