Once, when i talked with my Grandma about Red Baron, she already knew some things about him, but was not sure about how he actually looked like. So i've shown her this pic (it was the first pic that appeared, when i googled him). And then, my Grandma's very first reaction were those words: "Oh, you see? He had feminine shape of his body! Really! Such wide hips and thick thighs, especially in proportions to his waist! Like a female! But his face still looks manly! He was also short, probably...". And i was like: "Eeee... What??? Ooh!!!... You're totally right! Oh, nooooo...!". Then rest of my family agreed... My siblings even said that it's very noticable... And since then i cannot unsee this... Well, thank you, my family...

Because one thing has become clear to me: you can cope with all the horror as long as you simply duck thinking about it – but it will kill you if you try to come to terms with it.
