Guys I met in the military in 60's.: One from N. Alabama who wanted to get shot.

To see what it felt like. He had 4 off limits spots: Nuts of course, head, belly and chest. His rationale other than the experience was "what's the point of coming over here and all the hellabaloo if you don't get shot." He wasn't sucessful although he gave himself every oppty by volunteering for extra duty constantly.

A guy from the Appalachians in Ky without a tooth in his head at age 20. Would order two dozen eggs @ midnight chow every night and then get into a cuss fight with ever who "cookie" was for the evening. They would only do 6 @ a time but he wouldn't leave til he worked himself up to 24. And 6 glasses of milk. You could tell when they had doctored his order since all the cooks would watch him take a bite then roar. He would then order 6 more and tell them he wanted them prepared just like the last 6. A real live Luke from the movie without any rabbit in him. He was also the damnest leaper who ever lived. It was like he was made from rubber. We had these outdoor backboards and he would put on a show! And screw with black guys who thought they could leap by removing his teeth and making himself look 80 and then embarrass all comers.

And a "Florida Man" who got a Dear John from his childhood sweetie who then married his brother. He had two photo's she had sent him of her bare assed and spread and he sent those to his brother. He got back a photo of her on the business of his brother's chairman of the Board. All in the family.
