Fighting - Because I'm a sailor

[SailorGregS]

I just got back from the bar. I was wearing my baseball cap with a sailboat and anchor on it. While at the bar talking to my wife some mouthy 20 something was making jokes about my hat and insignia. Knowing he was drunk I paid no attention, figuring he would just go away. Wrong. He was itching for a fight. He had a few more beers, and got closer to us and started asking my wife why she would spend time with a guy that moves at a snails pace. Instead of a real man moving and shaking at 100kph. Of course she just turned her back and tried to ignore him. At the same time I'm burning up, one for talking to my wife, two for trying to belittle me, and three thinking that a power boat is more impressive than a sailboat. You see I'm a Canadian, and I have played hockey all my life, nuf is enuf.

He finally put his right hand on my wife's left arm. Insults and innuendo is fine, I can handle that (within reason), but touching my wife is a different story. I got off my chair, asked him politely not to bother us. And with fist clenched, put my hand other hand on my wife's shoulder to move her in my direction. Not surprisingly he rejected my attempt to rescue my wife. Saying "hold on a sec", at that point I planted him with a straight right, left cross, and two more rights. He was down and gasping, spitting and swearing. He scrambled to get up when I kicked him square in the ribs, and jumped on him holding him by the throat. I put my mouth next to his ear and without hesitation told him if he moved I would rip his larynx out. I was out of control and worried that I would do something that I would regret. Luckily my years of military combat training took the better of me and he was released.

The bouncers came in, removed him from the scene and asked me and my wife if we were okay. Now that's kinda weird, but my buddy owns the bar.

Bottom line, don't mess with a sailor and don't touch his wife.

Boat sex and bareknuckling. Dude, you're alright. You need to start reading the FightClub thread here in OT...from page 1. The quintessential SN classic.

Hey smackdaddy thanks for the thought but I'm in the dog house. Which why I'm sitting at my desk pecking on this stupid computer.

Yeah, a sucker punch helps shorten the fight considerably.

[SailorGregS]

Hardly a sucker punch, sucker. It's best to show up to a dance instead of being afraid of picking up the phone and asking for a date - pick up the phone studly.

Well, let's see, you say you just got back from the bar yet in another thread you wrote:

I just got back from taking my first mate down to the boat and giving her the jib. I live in Canada right now, and the boat is on the HARD, so we had to get INSIDE turn on the heater, and get at it. Right now it's 28 below C, but we managed to heat up the boat without any problem.

which was posted about an hour ago. and this post about 46 minutes ago. Sorry fellow, but you don't have much credibility with me.

That's exactly why you need to read the FC saga. If you can be throwin' the admiral the jib in a stacked boat at 6 pm - then throwin' a punk the jab at 8 - then doghousing at 10, you've got nothing but time, dude.

Have a good read. See you in August!

Your life must be kinda borrowing pal. For one your nightlife is non-existent, and two you like to follow me around the site.

Must be tough being a *****.

It's the nature of my job, collecting evidence and evaluating it.
