One of my neighbors was a LCDR in the Navy during World War II. He commanded a ship at the Battle of Leyte Gulf that was hit by a kamikaze. The blast killed everyone around him; my neighbor survived because he was wearing his helmet. The other day I was talking to him, and I noticed he was missing part of a finger, so I asked him if that was related to the attack. He responded "No, that was the Battle of the Yamaha", Yamaha being the company that manufactured his lawnmower.

He is 97 years old, and in better shape than a lot of people I know who are half his age.
