A friend of mine (Viet Nam Infantry Lt, but gentle as can be) bought the last 10 boxes of .22 ammo from Wally World. A man behind him got mad, and asked him to sell some of those he had just bought. My friend said "No". This jerk then punched him in the shoulder and again said "Sell me some!". "No, thanks" said my friend. He walked out of the store and Mr Jerk followed him, loudly yelling to sell him some. He once again punched my friend in the shoulder. Friend caught the eye of a person nearby, and asked him if he saw the punch. Person said "Yes". My friend then hit Mr. Jerk in the Adam's apple with a knuckle which collapsed Mr. Jerk on the ground gurgling for about 20 seconds, at which time he got crying and coughing and apologized to my friend. I suspect that Mr Jerk learned more about manners in that exchange than anything he would read in Emily Post
