    Never cut with a knife thank goodness, but I’ve sure had some busted knuckles and a sore jaw, along with bleeding scrapes!! I was and still am fast as a cat, very helpful brother, very helpful ;).

    Sometimes justice comes in forms we don’t expect, but understand non the less... Example: One night all is good and no one is having problems just fun. Stranger comes in all of 5’-7” and it’s obvious he has little man syndrome!! I always kept my back to the wall and relied a lot on my peripheral vision. I notice the stranger seems to pay a lot of attention to one woman in particular, a woman that appears to be in early pregnancy. But she is with another guy. The “pregnant” girl dances a few times with her female freinds, and 3 times rejects the stranger wanting to join. Later that night a bar maid witnesses the stranger elbowing the pregnant girl back by the bathroom, and she is not the only one to see it, so did the woman’s husband.... by the time I got to the bathroom the stranger was in a pool of blood, his blood. And the woman’s husband was treating his head like a yo-yo! I just locked the door and made sure the he got the point, but didn’t allow the husband to go to far, because it was obvious he could have.....

    Before I started helping to keep things to a low roar, I came close to having it out with a monster... Big Henry! And all I was doing was smoking a cigarette and checking on my Harley which I parked by the front door. He had a little to much and was in a argument with his girl. Simple case of mistaken identity lol!!

    A few weeks later Henry comes in and looks down at me.... (yes I was standing).... he apologized for accusing me of something I had no part in, we’ve been good freinds ever since.

    I remember one night I had my hands full with 2 guys. Henry and Tim has my back though.... guy with arms like stovepipes hit Henry so hard it not only knocked him down, it drove his lower front teeth right through below his lower lip!! Later when we got things under control, we were inspecting the damage... ( our body damage ) :)... Henry pressurized his mouth and shot blood out of the hole below his lip and just laughed big as you please lol!

    It was hard at times, but the key was to keep it peaceful and try not to draw attention while trying to get a guy(s) out the door, surprisingly he could have a buddy looking on which has the potential to escalate the situation.....

    That’s been 20 yrs and more now, I’m more apt to give someone lead poisoning these days versus blooding my hands....
