Someone actually said to me today, "Rob, I would like you to introduce your fist to my face."[ * ]
Being the cautious type, I was hesitant to make the introductions, but the fellow was really quite persistent. So great was his persistence in fact, that I almost gave in.
"Believe me ____ [name redacted]," I said to him, "my fist is also quite eager to make your face's acquaintance. However, I really don't think it would be appropriate to put them together at the moment. Maybe some other time?" He agreed, though rather reluctantly.
So in the end no introductions were made, though I would be less than truthful if I said that no pang of regret was felt for having passed on the opportunity.
[ * ]Okay, so he didn't use those exact words, but that is the gist of what he was saying.
