Some
advice: Don’t get shot in the face. I don’t care what your friends tell
you, it isn’t a good idea. Further, avoid corneal transplants if you
can. If you find a coupon for one, in a box of Cracker Jacks maybe, toss
it. Transplants are miserable things. Unless you really need one. What
am I talking about? Eyes, and losing them, and getting them back. On
this, I am an accidental authority.
A
large-caliber round, probably from a Russian 12.7mm heavy machine gun,
came through the windshield of the truck I was driving. The bullet
missed me, barely, because I had turned my head to look at a water
buffalo in the paddy beside the road. Unfortunately the glass in front
of the round had to go somewhere, in this case into my face. Not good. I
didn’t like it, anyway.
