My grandfather was one of them....and made it out alive amazingly.

He died 2 years ago with bullet fragments still in his thigh and shoulder from 66 years ago.

The greatest generation indeed........

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Sounds like a guy that has spent some time in gay Pariee. Rudest, scrawny little fucking pricks in Europe.
