My Regards,

The trick being actually poking them 'in the right place'. I recall a certain Mr. J. Bowie (not related to the singer) who got into a bit of a barney with a few people, one of whom ran him thru the lung with a swordstick, very 'smallsword-ish', and James B. proceeded to gut him like a fish with a chef's knife; JB recovered. Slicing 'in the right place' can quickly disable someone without killing them. LEOs tend to frown on having to deal with dead bodies. Too much paperwork. Sadly, Mr. Fillet of Fish didn't survive. JB went on to make a film with John Wayne in San Antonio if I recall correctly. The details in my mind are a bit fuzzy tho.

p.s. - I know the right places
