Should have added that I enjoy a battle of wits, but NOT with an unarmed adversary!

Thanks, Mitch. Now I'm REALLY glad I missed out on the discussion. I would probably have brought up the War of 1812, and I just KNOW Jersey wouldn't have liked that!

And NO, I wasn't in that one personally.
Wasn't that the time that we burned down the White House?

After about 3 1/2 years we remembered that Canadians are supposed to be all nicey-nice, so we gave it all back, and had a couple of beers with your guys. Sorta like an NHL game now-a-days!

And then Henry Ford introduced his vehicle for the common man, and a bridge was built over the Potomac, leading to "The Car-Strangled Spanner"!

Isn't that what sports is all about? Settling differences without resorting to those shiny metal objects that hurl little pieces of metal at other human beings?
I only hurl little pieces of metal at other human beings when necessary .

I hope you have never had to find yourself in that situation.
We visited Florida quite a number of years ago - Tampa and Miami- and I found that if we stayed within a couple of miles of the coastline we felt quite safe, but when we ventured inland, we felt quite vunerable. Hard to explain.
