It’s My Gift In A Box
Good morning! Today is my birthday, and it started off with a gift from my husband, sans chimp-hands.
I got my first birthday greeting at the crack of dawn.

Toasts will be made in my honor.

We know how to party.

He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; survived two plane crashes; tunneled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and bit off his own fingers when a doctor refused to amputate them.
This man could out-roundhouse kick Chuck Norris.
So let’s backtrack. Born in 1880 to an affluent family, he initially studied law at Oxford, but raging testosterone got the better of him and he quit the university in 1899 to get his fighting on in the Second Boer War, aka the Tweede Boereoorlog. He entered the army under the false name of “Trooper Carton”, and claimed to be 25 years old.
