Oh it doesn't work when you're a short skinny guy either. I almost got arrested when a friend who's 6'4" 190lbs came over, yelled "What up Papa Smurf!!" (Her normal greeting for me) tripped on th last step, screamed, hit her head on the rail, got a nice little egg growing. Neighbor called the cops & while we were trying to convince her to go to the infirmary to get it checked, the cops showed up & were only too happy to cuff me up & try to get her to press charges dispte the fact she & her friends told them what happened, plus she was damn near a foot taller & had 50 lbs on me.
Why? Because the neighbor said it sounded like someone was beating their wife/girlfriend.
