When I was flying a glider towplane for a gliding club at a city in Hokkaido Japan I used to hear quite often a formation of Huey Cobra attack helicopters do the Japanese version of an 'all stations' broadcast as they transited our area. The flight leader always did the transmission and his voice always caused some merriment amongst us as he always sounded as he was being severely shaken about.
There were muffled snorts of amusement with tongue biting etc when some of us eventually met him at a party and we found that he actually spoke like that in reality!!

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.
