Lemme see, do I have any?
Even though I took boxing lessons as a kid, I never got into any real knock-down, drag out, Clint Eastwood Any Which Way You Can type of fights, but here is a summary of some of the altercations I got into.
BTW, most of my fights mostly involved tussling, rather than throwing punches per se, but for some reason, 1987 (8th grade) was a record year for me getting into altercations. It was like I was picked on EVERY OTHER DAY!
But my way was fighting back was VERY unconventional, in that I fought back Three Stooges style. Some examples.
I was standing in the lunch line when someone behind me bopped me upside the head. I turn around and see two white guys (one of which I was a classmate of back in pre-school). I say, "Which one of you hit me". Both guys point to each other and say "He did". I would laugh and say, "That was a good one", and put my arms across their shoulders buddy-buddy style, and they would laugh along with me, and then I would bop both their heads together. That ended that bulljive PDQ. No further repercussions.
Another instance involved QS who would harass me all the time in gym class. One day I pulled him aside on the bleachers, held up two finger peace-style and asked, "How many fingers I am holding up." QS's reply: "Six". Two fingers to the eyes, just like Moe. Again no further repercussions (that and he was placed in Juvenile Hall shortly thereafter).
