A 4chan greentext tells the story of an anonymous soldier in Iraq who sits down for a drink and a pipe during a brutally hot patrol. A sniper shoots the pipe out of his mouth, and the soldier never learns whether it was a miss or deliberate mockery. The meme is used as an absurd reaction to a very close call or narrowly avoided disaster.
