My great-great grandmother, who lived @ 25 miles from Gettysburg, PA, (died before I was even thought about) told how the soldiers from both sides would ride their horses onto her porch and demand food.
“And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man. And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.(Judges 3:17, 21-22). Stan is skinny compared to this guy.
