      it's kind of sad that people are "loving" this, it used to be no-brainer for all people properly educated to look to all persons in a conversation. It's basic decency, now people have to "love" about it as if it's a rare quality.

    Something similar happened in my town during the war (I wasn't there obviously but an old lady had kept the newspaper article about it). It's a small coastal village in Scotland, literally nothing in it worth wasting a bomb on, but the German pilot jettisoned his payload on the street I'm currently living on so his plane could go faster to get away from inbound Hurricane fighters. Literally the only exciting thing that has ever happened in the town! haha

Hope he can keep himself fit and healthy as we do not want to lose such a comic talent.
