Pillbox Jokes

My Uncle Dave was a real World War II hero, but with the passage of time, stories tend to grow. He started one nite after a family dinner to tell his famous "Pillbox" story.
"There I was, on the island of Cebu, pinned down by pillbox fire and saw eighteen Japanese soldiers advancing on me..."
At that point my Aunt interrupted and said, "David! The last time you told the boys that story, it was a dozen enemy soldiers."
Without pausing he replied, "Yes. But they were too young then to know the whole horrible truth."
