Sometimes You Should Let Things Slide

I love this photo

Recently, I went to a Kings of Leon concert and after the show I was drunk with some friends playing frisbee in the parking lot (frisbee is not gay). An errant throw ended up hitting another gentlemen – whom we didn’t know – in the foot. This man then wanted to fight us. Like put up your dukes, we are going to punch each other in the face now, kind of fighting. People like this need take a few breaths at times of drunk territorial battles and just let some things slide because it’s just not worth it. (That and I don’t want to get punched in the face.) This guy should learn that too.

Officials say a man was airlifted to a central Florida hospital for treatment after he was severely burned during a fight over beer, cigarettes and money. Chitwood said that during the scuffle, 42-year-old John Harper dragged Fultz into a wooded area, poured gasoline on his face and lit a fire.

That’s one way to handle things. Of course, this was Daytona Beach where class and chivalry are about as present as cashmere sweaters at a Masai tribe dinner party. What kind of an upbringing does someone need to decide to ignite gasoline on someone’s face over cigarettes and beer? I found my wife cheating on me once and all I did was punch the guy really hard in the arm…and then I ran outside crying.

I bet that SOB’s arm hurt for days though.
