[narrating] It was back in World War II. I was a Seaman First Class on the USS World War I. We were minding our own business, when we were attacked by a heat-seeking torpedo we had fired the day before.
[In flashback, the missile causes the ship to sink, leaving the young Abe and the rest of the crew surrounded by sharks in the water]
CCaptain

[He floats on his back, playing dead - and is immediately eaten]
[narrating] Unfortunately, sharks love possum!
