A bully tried to take me on when I was a freshman in High School. I figured I was going to get beaten to a pulp as I was no fighter, but I wouldn't let him just victimize me. So we went out to the train station to duke it out. I took off my jacket and glasses. He came at me like a windmill and struck my head with his wrist. He didn't count on my thick skull and broke his wrist on it. I remember pulling on my jacket, suggesting he have it looked at over in the campus infirmary, and didn't miss my train home. Didn't even have a bruise. He was in a cast from elbow to hand for six weeks. No one ever tried to bully me in High School again. I was now one of the badasses. ]'-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
