And They Say Chivalry Is Dead....

We employ defense manatees!

Well, the original mermaid would be an improvement over his current wench.



(Wench: A tool for tightening nutz.)

I DO hope that the two of them don't show up at The Battle of the Bars tomorrow, as I won't be at work, I won't be sober, and I might not be able to not tell them what I think of them, which might well land me in some physical distress, or cause my coworkers/team members some distress as they come to my aid. (Did I mention that this guy was HUGE?)

Kneecaps. Kick with your heel directly at the kneecap, and like you're trying to kick through the kneecap. I don't care how big the guy is, he'll do a great impression of a building imploding if his knee bends backwards.

Also remember some basic rules.

A guy can not breathe, he can not fight.
A guy can not see, he can not fight (normally)


Don't matter your size if your lungs can not get oxygen, they will be unable to fight (effectively).

SC: Yeah you could pay off my loans!
Wife, assuming SC is joking: Ha, tell you what, the Powerball is getting pretty high. If I win, I'll pay it off for you.
SC, suddenly angry: I'm a Christian, I don't GAMBLE and neither should you! That's not a helpful answer.

Ooh, I hate that! The customer talks like they're joking, so you joke right back, then they go from Doctor Jekyll to Mister Hyde in .5 seconds flat! And you never see it coming, and you don't know what to do about it.

I'm afraid I can be one of those people. But I'll retreat in confusion or usually look upset or puzzled. Which usually gets someone worriedly trying to explain that it was a joke.

That is often my reaction too. It doesn't help that some people honestly don't know how to tell a joke. I don't expect Groucho glasses and a waggling cigar, but if you've got a stony face and deadpan voice, don't be surprised if the "joke" falls flat. Now, undoubtedly Jester knows how to tell a joke, so I'm sure that wasn't the case; the "lady" may have just been looking for a fight.

Kneecaps.

Thanks guys, but I do know some basic things like those. (Good to note for others, of course.) Frankly, I wouldn't want to get close enough to the guy to attempt those things, as that would put me in his range....and that would not be good. Not that I'm afraid of him, but I wouldn't really have wanted that drama at the Battle of the Bars. We had enough drama already, because in addition to the drunken revelry that is normally there, our captain got his neck sliced when the team was taking down the tent. (He's fine, by the way, but apparently it was pretty scary for a bit. I was elsewhere in the bar at the time, so I didn't actually see it...they told me about it after the fact.)

Now, undoubtedly Jester knows how to tell a joke, so I'm sure that wasn't the case; the "lady" may have just been looking for a fight.

I do. And I don't think she was looking for a fight. I just think she was a douchebag.
