You are a person of wisdom and good fortune. Many times, it simply is not worth it. Diplomacy and street smarts are also tools of survival.
Very good defensive skills. Some people naturally know what makes a good weapon. Even if the bottle was empty, it would have an effect of a baton.

I’m Irish. We love a good fight. :-) I used to have a terrible temper but over the years I have mellowed. I don’t worry much anymore as Mr. GG2 is a formidable character.
My BIL used to carry a 16 oz Pepsi Cola bottle on the floor of his car. He told me that once 3 guys jumped him and he grabbed the bottle attacked the biggest guy with it, beat him to a pulp and when he turned around the other two were gone.
I have found all of the fight stories on this thread highly entertaining. Guys rock! :-)
Glad to see you’re not going down without a fight!
Ka-boom!
Yep...:o)
I must have had a good reason but couldn’t remember what it was. I woke up with a swollen and bloody face.
1992, I was 40 years old. A drunk street person accosted me in Chicago. I would have let it go if he hadn’t grabbed me by the coat lapels. I had to do the break-loose move (arms up and out) and then a shot to his face and another to the throat. That put him down. I didn’t want to touch him any more than necessary, so I learned that, as well as fighting with a drunk (when you’re sober) doesn’t end up being much of a fight.
The Three Stupids Rule:
1. Don’t go to stupid places
2. With stupid people
3. And do stupid things

All good advice but after you’ve already hoisted a few, all that good advice goes out the window.
I used to get in fights, then 34 years ago, I quit drinking.
No fights or jail, in at least 34 years. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
OK, it's been almost thirty years, but I can still (barely) remember the moves...
Forgot the side kick to the knee to bring 'em down though. lol
Golden Gloves, '64. :O)
Almost all street fights go to the floor within 6 seconds or so, so yea, it’s nice to have a signature strike, a signature take-down, and a signature finishing blow — not necessarily fatal
