The honest to God truth
So, after watching the Fish play vball, we went out to eat Mexican food at a favorite restaurant. There were four guys at the table across the way and I believe that the beer at their table was talking for them. One of the guys, apparently not overly bright but very much a tough talker was telling his story about his fight he was in. I only caught bits and pieces of the conversation but it went something like this:"So the one guy had me by the hair and he was beating on my head and I thought that he was gonna knock me out. So the next time when he dun had me by the hair i twisted away and I hit the one guy that Corey had been fighting with , and this is the honest to God truth, I hit him right below the rib cage and he just went 'Whooooooosh' and folded over. Then I turned and hit the one guy and turned back and hit the other guy BAM and I was doin that back an forth for a little. Then they both fell over and I ran off. So the one guy is still holding himself up in the concession stan an the first guy that had started it all came over and was helpin his two buddies. I started at them and then the first guy yelled 'what do you want?' and I said ' i want my damn hat' and he said 'I get it for you'. Then the guy that had me by the hair yelled ' I'm gonna kill you' and his buddy held him and said 'No. We don't want anymore of him'. And the honest to God truth, it was because i thought i was gonna get knocked out."
At this point I was riveted to this conversation. The guy continued " It makes a difference if you're fighting a tough guy or a bunch of weak guys. Fighting one tough guy can be tough though."
Okay genius. That was some serious logic. It took a lot of self control to not say "That was a hell of a story. I can't believe that you were able to handle these four guys who were taking turns attacking you. I mean, you should really think about becoming some kind of self defense teacher. Four guys? That's utterly amazing. And the one guy even went WHOOOSH too! Can I get your autograph?"
So dad and I are walking out chuckling about the story and I said to dad "Let's stand out here and when he comes out, just deck his ass. Afterwards we'll say something like 'I guess we're just tough guys.' " Dad started laughing and even agreed with me. Mom just laughed about our idea.
And that's the honest to God truth.
