Another pearl of wisdom
from my late lamented grandfather ...

"Never pick a fight with the meanest lad in school."

Sadly, this advice came approximately 24 hours too late, when my brother already looked like he'd called Mike Tyson a big poof. And lived to regret it - but only just.

Several years later, I was helping out behind the bar in the local rugby club. The Welsh fans were visiting and had set themselves two targets.

1 - Drink the club dry
2 - Proposition the female bar staff

All in good humour of course. They were too nice to be rude when propositioning the bar staff, and we were all just having a great laugh.

The "meanest lad in school" from above was also in attendance that night, but was looking for a fight. With anyone. He was also being insufferably rude to the bar staff and was on his last warning.

He'd worked out who's sister I was, and had laughingly told everyone in earshot how he'd "mangled" my brother several years before. The advice someone, anyone, should have given him was,

"Don't piss off the barmaid when the visiting Welsh have made friends with her"

Having not had this advice, he pissed me off completely and I put my masterplan into action. Moving further up the bar, I slightly tearfully, asked if anyone needed served. They all demanded to know who'd upset me. I told them. I pointed out the offender.

He was removed from the bar with surprisingly little fuss, and summary justice was meted out in the car park.

Revenge truly is a dish best served cold.

Hehe!
Not that I condone using feminine wiles to use on men but he obviously deserved it.


Edit - Btw I think your sig is very clever and very funny.
