    Hey, everyone get in their truck, pull the curtains, climb into the sleeper in your pajamas and this will not be your problem.

    Don’t make work out of this.

    I must have lived a charmed life back starting in the 70s, as I never did see a truck stop fight. Saw a lot of other things though.

    Albeit, now that I think of it, there were those late night cb arguments, and then sure enough, “where are you at, pull that thing over, I am going to k…!!” Seems funny even today, when someone could get that mad at another driver and not even know where they were at…. One can’t make this stuff up.

    When I was in school my dad taught me that the rules of fighting were:

    1. Don't let me ever find out you started a fight
    2. Don't let me ever find out you lost one

    Stand up for yourself. If it comes to blows, open up an extra large can of whoopass. Do everything you can to avoid it, but sometimes, you just can't.

    Ask Israel.

    But if I see someone getting their ### kicked and the guy isn't stopping I will go get my gun and tell him to back the #### off or I'll consider him a threat to the guys life. I'll have the draw jump on him so if he tries anything stupid he'll be counting angels in heaven.

    I don't draw on people who fight me, but if someone is getting their ### kicked to the point of brain damage or death, I will step in. Thank God I haven't had to do this. I've actually only heard a few people get into shouting matches, maybe like 4 times, and 2 of them were me and someone else. LOL

    Clearly the thing to do is start taking bets on who wins.

    And if a knife or a gun comes out, that is a great time to practice your fleeing techniques.

    Had a female friend that always complained about how irresponsible her younger sister was. Her sister was this big ol fat girl who was dating this thin henpecked wimp of a dude that she would beat on regularly.

    Well, one day after she split his lip and blacked his eye, he fired back. She immediately calls the cops and plays the damsel in distress card. Cops look at her, look at him and cuff her gigantic arse. My friend was planning to post bail for her sister. Aren’t you the one that’s always complaining about how irresponsible she is? She found her way in there, she can find her way back home.

    “Well, I guess I should go and get her stuff from their house so she can stay with me for a while…”

    You want to confront boyfriend.

    “He hit my sister!”

    She hit him.

    “”But Six, he’s a man!”

    Shes 3x his size. Stay out of it. Tomorrow, they are going to tell each other how much they miss the other and how much in love they are, and if you get involved in any way, they will both blame you as the source of all of earth’s woes.

    (The Next Day)

    “Six, you were right! They’re both angry with me because I didn’t bail her out of jail!”

    Imagine what would have happened if you had gotten involved.

    Anyways, that domestic stuff…avoid at all costs.

    So, say the bigger guy comes to me angry and wants to fight. I hit the guy with all I got. He doesn't fall to the ground. Just gets even more angry. Do I win, when I'm ### and elbows running away?

    Again no rules in a street fight..
    Mistake#1.. should of hit him with what ever was close that had some weight to it... pipe tire thumper etc etc.
    2 if nothing is close pull his shirt or jacket or what ever over his head and kick him in the nadds then start kicking his head in ..
    Its just the way it works ..
