Yesterday I met about 20 or my brother's friends at a nearby lake, and about 40 people I didn't know. We were having a good time, just lounging around, doing a little wrestling now and then... when some complete stranger got smart with me.
Now I weigh on a good day 115 lbs, and this guy was aboutt six years older than me and 40-50 lbs heavier. But I smart***ed a reply and left it at that. Well, about 2 hours later, I'm in a playful mood, and this guy's acting stupid- he's drunk. The gist of the action was a good deal of obscene body motions and "You want some of THIS!" followed by drunken laughter.
Being the idiot that I am, I sidle on up to him and say, "Listen, man, I uh, don't mean to jump in your conversation, but how about some of this!" I threw my hand out, feinted a slap, and stopped a few inches from his face. This drunk went ballistic. I backed off, told him it was all in good fun, gave my name, offered a hand. He stands- I say "ah, :cen:. Look, it's just a joke, man."
My brother defuses the situation and tells me, "Look, this dude's nothing to fool around with. He's a complete pain in the behind. If you think he wouldn't have killed you five minutes ago, think again. He wouldn't have stopped beating you until I jumped in with either the .357 or something else."
Lesson learned- don't jump into conversations like that if you don't know the guy you're messing with.
