   He figured the only reason it didn't kill him is it caught him flat and   
   he was a skinny little guy.   
      
   Maybe a knife fight he'd not won years before saved his life.  I asked   
   him once why he barely ate at a meal, and he said, "I got in a fight   
   once, and the other guy's knife was a little longer than mine.  Ain't   
   much stomach and intestine left after they put me back together.  I can   
   only eat a little at a time."   
      
   Interesting fella.  The kind you didn't ask him about stuff he had if he   
   liked you.  He'd likely just give it to you.  Took me a little growing   
   up to learn not to take advantage of folks like that.
