"Villager J and I always saluted when we encountered each other, backs straight, heels clicking. Today I’m going to salute him one last time but he won’t salute me back because he’s inside a coffin and it’s his funeral."

Some days I have very deep thoughts and other days I wonder why people say "to be Frank" and not Dave.
