| 54. Yeah, yeah, we get it... you're a bone-breaking badass. |
|
And if presented with a fat person on an airplane, you'll start up with your badassery. And yes, knees, because they're obviously vulnerable when someone's sitting down.  Truth is, you don't have any idea when you assault someone whether they've got the training or the flat-out determination to kick the shit out of you, so it's a pretty stupid idea to start physical shit up just because someone upsets you. |
