Am I a coward? Depends how you look at it. I could've told this violent man the truth and possibly end in a fight, but I chose to lie and be left alone.
Those who know me, know my stance on faith. I'm not gonna entertain a possible bloody nose because of some principle talking with (violent) strangers.
I would have told the truth. I've gotten into religious and political debates while drunk at the bar.
How's your left hook? Or are you one of those guys like me that go in low and kick out one of their knee caps, so that every step they take for the rest of their lives, they remember you? It was my MO when there was a bunch of them looking for trouble. I'm missing pieces of teeth, etc., because of that. Why can't people just be drunk and jolly?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
