Now, FrankC, you know better. (I hope.)
Bowser — (archived)

Didn't claim to be a POW. Never was. If I said I was, I lied.

Not a martial artist. If I said I was, I lied. Had to learn ways to defend myself and/or disable others for work. I have about 30 seconds max of skills, none of which involve sparring or dancing around. Although I do admire the discipline and grace of the people who do those things.

I think the skills necessary to defend oneself against the puny people who need to carry concealed firearms should be learned by all folks who care about themselves and their families.

(I have met a professional wrestler who called himself "Billy Jack". He was on the national scene for a while, and as I recall left it sort of whining. We worked out in the same gym. Now for all the buffoonery, he was an athlete, a very, very good athlete. Raquetball with him was a 21 to 1 affair if I could trip him once. Played once, then he was kind enough to give me some lessons.)

And my pointless story didn't pretend to be anything other than a pointless story.

But then, if you could get it straight you probably would have.

Never mind.
