Although, I can't help but think about that old Johnny Cash song "one piece at a time" when you read these articles.
I couldn't help thinking of an old joke:
A British pilot shot down over Germany is in a hospital as he's in bad shape. After a couple days, they have to amputate a leg because gangrene.
One German medical officer asks him what to do with his leg.
"Next time there is a bomber over Britian, can you just drop it over there so part of me can be on home soil?"
"Ya, ve can do that" says the German officer.
A couple days later, his other leg has to be amputated, and the same question from the German Officer.
"Just drop it over there, like my other one so part of me can be buried on home soil?"
"Ya, ve can do that again" says the German officer.
A few days later, the British Pilot has to have an arm amputated, and the German officer asks the same question again.
"Just drop it over there, like my legs?" Asks the British Pilot again.
"Nien!" barks the German Officer.
"But, why?" asks the British Pilot.
"Ve sink you are trying to esscape."
