He looked at the guy, sneered, and said "Man, you are too pretty to have been in sixty knife fights. Where are the scars on your arms? How come you have all your fingers and both eyes? I'm not saying you haven't stabbed sixty guys, but how many of them were facing you when you stuck them?" A little rude. The unvarnished truth often comes across that way...

A Filipino friend that would visit home (the RP) every year would always seek out known FMA instructors to learn something of their style. On one trip he went to visit one known knife expert. The fellow agreed to demo his art, gave the fellow a knife and said 'now I will disarm you'. He tried, failed, and was cut. He said that he would disarm the fellow again. Again he failed, and again was cut in the process. This went on yet another time, same result. After this the fellow disappeared into his house and returned with an AR-15 (or Armalite as they are known in the RP). He loaded a full magazine in the rifle, chambered a round, took it off safe and handed it to my friend. He then said, now I will show you my rifle disarms. !!! My friend just thanked him, put down the rifle and left... quickly.

They seem to take email addresses from our list and then automatically add them to the distribution for their own little newletter. That is obviously a Bozo-No-No, but I these folks are obviously Bozos since they are just spamming people by proceeding in this fashion.
