***************Forest trail, Tanna, New Hebrides, July 9, 1942************ Lt. Honda is wearing his Shinto ceromonial garments as he heads down the trail in wooden sandals. He takes cautious steps because the trail is wet and because the sandals are newly lacquered, having just been received from his doting mother. (Are y'all getting the picture yet?) As he passes by a coconut palm there is a flash of movment and a scream, "OTFEFE!". A brown arm grabs him across the forehead, displacing the goofy hat that looks like an oven mitt sewn into a cone. From the other side, a bayonet is thrust deeply into his neck. As the life drains from him, he falls on his back to the jungle floor. The face of a native man, painted white appears at the center of his fading vision. The mans smiles broadly and whispers, "Ensign McGoo".
