I went on a church retreat over the weekend with a bunch of guys from my bible study. We had lanyard loops around our necks with nametags in them. Another member of our study spent a few years in the Army.
Duke: "Hey Skunk. I'll give you $5 if you can get the lanyard from him."
Not liking to hurt people if we can help it, Jay (the ex-Army guy) and I look at eachother sheepishly.
Skunk: "You serious?"
Duke: "Yeah, both of you got a few moves."
Skunk: "OK. Hey Jay, can I borrow your lanyard for a sec?"
Jay hands the lanyard over.
Skunk, giving lanyard to Duke*: "Here you go. Violence is always a last resort."
I know he was kidding around, but I hope he got the point that just because both of us can whack someone from 0-300 yards, doesn't mean that we're predisposed to violence. Ho hum.
