Words spoken to an 18yr old dummy just before he swung a punch in a late night redneck bar .
That old man was good to his word , too ................. Last time I ever picked a fight . Finished many , but I never picked another . He broke me of the habit ; that retired Gunny Sgt. did .

That meant to me that I had to either always win or not fight. I chose to always win.
And, I have!
Ya really don't want to mess with an old Veteran; They've seen more combat than you and they've lived a full life...come and get it punk...

I feel ya, Bro.
I remember hearin' that several times.
So I've decided to educate the next generation!
(even if it means explaining what "older folks" sayings meant at the time and how they apply to what's going on today)
Always my best,
Scott

My Uncle charlie always used to tell my dog to "Go home your mother has buns" I never knew WTH that meant.
