Anyhow, so the snake's coming down, and it's just when it's about two or three feet, because I'm thinking, surely it's going to go left or right, right? This thing is coming like it's going to bite me in the balls, right? So I put my rifle on automatic. I'm going, brrrr! And all this water comes flying up and it hits me in the fucking eyes and I'm moving.

And I look and I get my eyes clear and I look left, left, right. Nobody's there. They're all underwater. Oh, fuck. But I didn't hear the end of that forever. And then George was nice about it later because the next day he said, next time don't shoot the snake. So anyhow, that was that night. So just crazy shit had happened. I remember one time we were on a day patrol.

For some reason or another, the whole company's coming out and it's a day patrol where the whole platoon, I forget what it was, but me and two of me, Proctor and a guy named Pavlovich, were sent to get water. So we go into the village and we get water, right? So we go into the village, we got everybody's canteen. Right? And so we go in, and just when we go to get water, we see this kid.

He's coming out. He's got, like, one of these trays in front of him, like a small coke's come in, the wooden trays, and he's got a burlap strap holding it up, and he's got burlap covering it. You know what he's got in there? I swear to God, you're not going to believe this. You're not going to fucking believe me. And Proctor and the other three are dead, so it's... Vanilla popsicles.

He had fucking vanilla popsicles. He did. He did. And so I take, and we take, and before you know it, this kid had everything we had of value. Bread, cans of bread, cigarettes. I mean, we're just eating one popsicle after another, right? Pravalovich goes, suppose these are poison. And then Proctor goes, who gives a fuck? Right? So that's one of my happy, happy stories about the place.
