I'm always mildly amused to hear the immature challenge others to a fight.  You know, 
you never know who you are dealing with.

Interviews after the TV series 'Band of Brothers' crystalized it for me.  They 
interviewed old men, grandfathers, generally kind and gentle looking.  They were once 
the young men who's exploits fighting in WWII were dramatized in the show.  I 
distinctly remember the sniper, who was gentle and soft spoken.  He had lead a quiet 
life.

These men were trained warriors.  They hadn't flinched when they needed to kill 
another man.  I know I would.  I don't think you would want to lethally threaten these 
men even today.  Old training is hard to un-learn.

So I'm always amused when I see youth challenging older folks.  They in for some 
surprises.
