re: How many good, old-fashioned fist-fights have you been in?

One. It was a 8-10 rednecks at a bowling alley in Texarkana. I made the mistake of standing over a guy I had just decked and gloating and didn't see it coming from his friend. The guy who (sucker) punched me lost his balance and we wound up wresting on the ground till it got broken up. The guy I decked lost a tooth and my parents had to pay some dental bills. My dad made me work it off in the summer at some sweaty arse yard mowing jobs.
