.....I am always better prepared, greater armed, a bit tougher, or just a tich crazier then my adversary.
My motto: If you find yourself in a fair fight, you screwed up somewhere.
Y'all must be long lost brothers!
That crazy thing has worked well for me most my life...and I'll use anything near me if it is useful...a
fair fight is one where I win and they lose, and I really dislike losing.
"If you "F" with me I'll end you." Heh, I like that. Me? I usually just smile and get a funny look in my eyes and softly but clearly say "keep talking".
