Ya shoulda had something happen to you like what happened to a maternal ancestor of mine. George Austin Corey of Massachusetts fought in the Civil War, got captured by the Confederates at Cold Harbor, I think, and did six months in Andersonville.
He survived, though down to skin and bone. Let's just say the experience
thoroughly affected Grandpa Corey's attitude about leftovers. It's family lore that he never allowed food to be thrown out for the rest of his days: "Leave it there, I'll eat it for breakfast," he'd insist. And he would.
