No cop interference on the highway, though

The only accidental marks i have caused are a few scratches in the ceiling when i handle long pole arms before positioning them in the living room walls.

LOL!!! every time I tell this story!!! ......its like my grandson when I say, 'did I tell ya the one about ...?' he retorts, 'uh, yeah grandpa! about 40p00 times!!!!

Fernando, it seems like you had a lot of physics at play there.........you needed a weight and balance sheet!

The topic of 'sword misadventures' would make a great thread on it's own! Really, the only thing I ever had happen was the time I was forcefully trying to remove a mekugi pin from a kyu gunto when the magnificently sharp blade peeled back my jeans and gave my thigh a clean shave! A millimeter further south and I would have bore a scar to brag about!
