re: How many good, old-fashioned fist-fights have you been in?

I'm a bitch and avoid confrontation

Ain't nothing wrong with avoiding it if you can.

One night I saw one of the absolute hardest dangerous people I know pick a fight with his old lady's clean cut ex boyfriend. The guy was rough, rode bulls, did a fair amount of coke, and fought more often than not for the fun of it. If there were three of me, I still would have kept my distance.

The guy he tried to hit made him miss and knocked him clean out with the first punch. The problem was the second punch was an uppercut that kept the guy up long enough to pin him to the wall. He landed four or five more shots to the head and a few body shots before the guy hit the ground.

Cowboy spent time in the ICU for his troubles. No one ever brought it up, but he stopped picking fights and stopped the drug use.

It remains the finest example of misjudging a book by its cover I've ever seen.
