Forrest Plump isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but what he lacks in brains he makes up for in heart, determination, and an extraordinary ability to eat his way through every major event in American history. From Vietnam to the White House lawn, from a shrimp boat in Alabama to a cross-country jog that somehow never burned a single calorie, Forrest stumbles through life touching everyone he meets. Mama always said life is like a box of chocolates. Forrest ate the whole box before she could finish the sentence.
