My great great grandfather was a Chaplin in the Civil War (got him literally straight off the boat at Ellis Island). His son was a doughboy in WW1. His son, my grandad fought in Italy, Normany, and the Bulge. My dad was a chopper pilot in Vietnam, in the shit, as it were.

I fought bravely and with distinction in the War Against Al-Qatala on PS4.

Edit: on a serious note, I was lucky enough to know my great grandfather whose father, in turn, was in the Civil War - - and I'm not that old.

Funny you say that. Incidentally, I saw Emilia Clarke in a play (Breakfast at Tiffany's) years ago. Apparently, they had gone through three separate cats in the role of Holly Golightly's pet because they would follow instruction. The night I saw the show, the cat was supposed to exit stage right, but wouldn't go. It took a trainer audibily shaking a can of treats off stage and Emilia gently nudging with her foot for it to leave.
