You made a demonstrably false general claim that I refuted. Get off your high horse.

Rolling eyes.

Hey! I heard JESUS (the Prince of Peace) went wild in the temple and crashed over the money-changers’ tables, too. Do you REALLY want to get into a food fight?

Any way, picked myself up and after about 3 minutes I was done. As two of my friends were helping me to my car, it turns out my foe was parked right next to me. His friend said:

“You really shouldn’t have messed with that guy.”
I responded, “No shit, Sherlock.”
He said, “because he fights Golden Gloves in the city (NY)”

I said to my foe, Johnny. “You coulda told me that.”
He said, ” I would’ve if you weren’t acting like such an a-hole.”

We became good friends after that.

There are life lessons everywhere.
