I was talking to my grandfather and he told me some funny stories when he was a soldier just after WW2...
1)Him and his buddies had been digging fox holes all day, and when their sergeant saw how much of a good job they were doing, he bought them like 4 cases of beer. Anyways they drank all the beer and a couple of them got drunk, its also around night time now and pitch black and they have just finished digging their holes. So one of the drunk guys stumbles and falls inside his fox hole, and he starts crawling around inside it. Except this was an "L" shaped fox hole and he climbs into the hole in the bottom of the "L", and falls asleep as he is very drunk. So morning time comes and this guy wakes up and he is SCREAMING his head off, there is dirt and earth all around him, on his sides, on top and on bottom. Hes scratching at the earth and screaming like a lunatic. He thought he had been buried alive, until his fellow soldiers hear him screaming and they pull him out by the legs.
2)Him and his buddies again are swimming in a lake, and some of them are diving in it as well. One of the guys diving off the rock finds a white phosphorous mortar at the bottom of the lake, and as he comes up for air he starts beeming gleefully from ear to ear, telling his buddies what he found at the bottom of the lake. So he goes and dives for more of these, and he ends up finding like 5 of these white phosphorous mortars at the bottom of the lake, and he brings them back with him into his tent and hides them, thinking hes found a gold treasure. Anyways in the middle of the night he wakes up and theres smoke everywhere in his tent, and then he notices that its on fire!! Apparently white phosphorous burns when it is exposed to oxygen, and in the middle of the night it had lit his tent up. The guy was okay but needless to say his tent was ruined
