MAIDEN!

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Well you see, a little bit of saliva on the guys suit is a bit harder to prove as evidence than a black eye given in a crowded square. If he goes to a cop with saliva on his suit, the cop is most likely going to laugh at him. If he has a black eye and witnesses, he will be taken seriously.
 
    The saliva did the trick and sent the message. He took his paws off my wife.
 
    I'm proud to say that I have not punched anyone in the last 22 years, and I don't plan onending that streak. I hope not to be brought to that level of violence.

 "FUCK OFF!" and the body language that goes with it is pretty universal, so anybody would get the message loud and clear.
 
 Spitting is also considered assault by the way so you can get in as much legal trouble as punching someone.....mind you, my fists are probably not as deadly as your saliva,  they just have more of an instant impact. [/b]

You may not have read my post completely...but I did say as a last resort....I've punched someone once in the last 10 years, well two really. I was at the payphone outside of Nanny O'Briens when two chumps must've assumed I was shitfaced so tried to mug me. I whacked the first one with the phone receiver then beat the other one with my fists...does that count as violence or self defence? If it's self defence then it must be 20+ years since I was in a fist fight. I'm just not 100% opposed to it as an option and would do that before spitting on them.
 
 Now can we agree to disagree because I'm sure the other board members are sick of it, as am I!

If two guys are attempting to mug me while I'm in a phone booth in my hometown (and it's clear that they don't have weapons), then I'm obviously going to use fists.
 
    If some guy is tugging at my wife's shirt in a crowded square in a foreign country, then I don't think fists are warranted, but spit certainly is. She herself was persistently telling him to stop, and he didn't. Thus a "fuck off" from me wasn't necessarily going to get the job done either.

Somehow, "Here's Rhetty" just doesn't sound threatening.  No offense or anything.

 Yeah, but considering DC, half would be running towards him and half running away.
