Narrator: By the year 2040, bachelors of retirement age will be the only ones left who remember the Vietnam War. (An elderly man addresses a classroom of students.) Man: Back in them days, my cousin Nate was what they called a 'hippy'. He didn't want to fight. He wanted to grow his hair and sing protest songs. In fact, he was the first musician to wear a jean jacket over a turtleneck sweater. But he got caught smoking hemp seeds. His joint went off like a firecracker as soon as he lit it, giving him away to an undercover cop in the movie theater. If he didn't join the army, they threatened to send him to prison, where the inmates would have made him perform gymnastics. So that's how he ended up in Vietnam. Student: Then what happened. Man: He died. Probably should have gone to prison instead. Student: Was he shot by an enemy sniper? Man: No, he was decapitated by a chopper blade while helping to evacuate the wounded. |
