Check out the Hemingway story- The Short Happy Life of Francis McCumber. It is about a man who finally becomes a man after fighting off a lion defending his wife-after he cowardly backed down the first time

Now here is something funny.

 

From the story..."As the crocodile attacked, Wendy Petherick shouted to her husband Norm who told reporters he acted instinctively."

 

I envision her husband standing around taking reporters' questions:

 

"So, Norm, you just jumped in and saved your wife?"

 

"That's correct."

 

"How do you feel?"

 

"Well, Sammy, it's a dog-eat-dog world out there and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear."

Not me. I don't even know the guy. Why would I try to save his wife?

Did you see that guy? The son of a B word could kick your ass just by looking at you.
