Greetings Economists,
How embarrassing!
I've been reading the Illiad again. Or it was read to me a long long
time ago before I could read.
Also recently read about the phalanx Greek formation. Socrates fought
in a war roughly every three years in the phalanx. Twice his phalanx
broke and the whole b b b bunch of guys ran for their lives. Which is
a big mistake because the other side just loves to stick something in
your back. Anyway Socrates lived because he would turn and face the
side that broke his phalanx and it was too much trouble to kill him.
Socrates was famously pot bellied and odiferous. Maybe that
contributed.
My ex-girl friend got mad at me and tried to punch me out. She got
tired of swinging missing. If you must know it takes a lot of energy
to just punch at someone, especially if you haven't done that before.
I once got in a fight with chess player. He got me in leg lock around
my neck but couldn't strangle me. I rammed into a hells angel at work
but he accepted a bribe of Jack Daniels to compensate for hitting his
knee with forklift.
I prefer yelling at someone. Heh I'm an old man.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
