Felipe Vieuroux was born so late that his mother had almost forgotten she was still carrying a child. There are no official documents of his existence because his father was late inscribing the boy’s birth at the local municipality. Alledgedly he had his first sexual experience at the age of 34, presumably because he was always an hour late for dates. On many occasions he seemed to have been fired for a multitude of odd jobs because here too he had a habit of being late. When, as a train conductor, he had missed his own train for the 4th time, he joined the army. Here he became the least popular soldier since he was always the last to show up at the calling of the roll. But because World War II was raging and his country needed all available men he was not sent away. He finally died when during a jump at the battle of Arnhem he was late opening his parachute.
