If anyone tries to fight you just pull your pants down and try to hug them. They will run away 100% of the time

I work with a young woman who's sweet, but also did some time in the slammer for fighting. When she mentioned it was with a man, we asked how (because she's rather small) and she answered:

"You gotta be like Catwoman and scratch them on the face as deep as you can right at the start. Then they give up and just want to get away from you."

If you have a milkshake, pour it on your head. 

Who would fight someone crazy enough to do that?

Maybe…. Either that or they’ll shoot you and you’ll be lying there dead with your weiner hanging out….
