I read that he kicked the person in the shin. Perhaps it was a case of Olimpick fever!

In his autobiography, John Muir describes a similar game he played as a child in Scotland. The boys would face off toe to toe and grasp each other's left forearm then using their free hand they would beat one another on the shins until one cried uncle.

He claims this, and other deprivations gave him the mental fortitude to withstand the difficulties he encountered during his travels.

That's weird: Impatient BMW driver brings out the 'wurst' in pedestrian

Quote:
BERLIN — An angry pedestrian in Germany dented a luxury vehicle after huring a foot-long bologna at the BMW, saying it was going too fast and endangering his son.

Police in the eastern city of Neubrandenburg said the sausage strife broke out over the weekend when the 49-year-old man and his 8-year-old son were crossing the street.

As a 47-year-old BMW driver tried to scoot quickly into a nearby parking spot, the pedestrian yelled “stop” but after the car didn’t slow, he threw the sausage he was carrying at it.

The bologna triumphed over Bavarian engineering, leaving a small dent in the BMW’s back right door.

Police said the pedestrian is suspected of causing property damage.

The bologna was not seized as evidence.
That's one hell of an over engineered sausage, or BMW construction standards have slipped.
