“You don't know what it is to live and laugh and love and run a man through! You've never tasted salty air on your tongue or waved heartily at a mermaid!”

I haven't waved heartily at a mermaid. I need to add that to the bucket list.

Oh you haven't lived Jeffrey, not until that one is de-bucketed. Wait...are you saying that you have run a man through? You dark horse.

He didn't die so not sure it counts. Just a bit of blood in fencing class in college. The tip was faulty.
"Fencing class" eh? "Faulty tip" eh? A likely cover story. You're just lucky that my little grey cells weren't brought in to play in this investigation. Tsk Tsk old chap.

To check to make sure we had our cups on every day she walked by and tapped them with the tip of her foil. Donk, Donk, OWWW, donk. She was Austrian and ugly as a burlap sack. You haven't had fencing? Good lord man you never know when you'll be challenged to a duel or be offered the role of James Bond. One must be prepared.
Heh I'm not sure fear of an ugly Austrian woman is a suitable excuse for running a man through with a sword dear boy. It just isn't cricket you know.

He did take a poke at me first which I established with several people after the event. We were both almost expelled from the class. I was threatened in several languages by the linguistically impressive instructor. This little incident did much to dispel my rep as a peace loving book reading hippy.
Yes, I heard that wasn't a book in your pocket and you never do seem too pleased to see me either. Damned rabble rousers with their tanks and their drones escorting them everywhere. Sense must be made of this!
