See, I love people like that. Years ago in Phoenix we bought a piece of furniture from this little store and this older man carried out to my truck for me. I'm like "dude, I can handle it myself" and this eighty year old is hoisting up this small couch over his head like he was Charles Fucking Atlas. I noticed the Marine tat... That started a long conversation. Turned out he was 16 when he joined the Marines in WWII. We ended up becoming good friends for a long time in Phoenix.
