Were you expected NOT to laugh? Because I’d just be bursting at the seams here. What a sense of humor!

This was my DS at Fort Benning. He lost his hand to a training grenade accident and had this hook among other attachments. He was an incredibly theatrical and simultaneously terrifying dude, hope he's doing ok.
