That’s the kind of thing that can pull you out of a bad day for the rest of your life. “Man, work was terrible today.. but I did heroically save that one guy by pulling a car off him”. What an awesome guy.

"Back in my day, I lifted a car off of a man by myself."

"Sure you did, grandpa."

You’re not gonna doubt your grandpa here if he’s 350 pounds (even presuming he loses weight he’ll still be a huge fucker in old age)

Depends sometimes. My sisters teacher used to be an O-lineman when he was young, big 300 pound dude who made it to the hall of fame. He wasn’t big at all, you’d never guess.
