Nowadays, one sees many a
humorous t-shirt with variations on the theme "Give
Blood: Play {insert violent sport here}." Highly amusing.
Well, just the other day, as I was leaving a particularly painful
practice session, I came to the rather
disturbing realization that I had just dripped
blood all over the fresh, newly purchased, pristine pair of khakis I was about to
change into. This was largely the result of the numerous gashes decorating my
knuckles, which were themselves the result of having faced a left-handed
opponent that day.
Needless to say, a lengthy
diatribe about my opponent's sanitary habits, parentage, taste in clothing, ability to fence, and probable affection for
barnyard fowl soon followed. I eventually reached the (admittedly
irrational) conclusion that left-handed people should be banned from
fencing altogether, or perhaps simply brained with a large
rock.
Gave me a great idea for a t-shirt, tho.
