120. Just for the Record,
Some years ago, one of my neighbors was traveling with his family and was involved in a highway accident. The car rolled over and his family was trapped while the car began to burn. He dragged his wife out of the car, went back pulled one of his children out of the car, now fully engulfed, then went back a third time to rescue the last of his children. The car exploded and he and his second child died in the ensuing explosion.

That is the crucible that defines a real man for me; one who is prepared to give his life for his loved ones. As for the rest, it's just dressing.
