Have you ever taken a punch?

I’ve gotten a few, never given any… To smooth a talker to bother with that. I know the pain though, I have puched a couple of lockers, trees and other inanimate objects from time to time when pissed off.

I once got puched around by one of my best friends after drunkedly (and stupidly) requesting it. Had a hard time chewing and blinking on my left side for a week (he’s a strong little bugger).

I was in the middle of a mosh-pit that turned bad at a punk concert. 4 or 5 scrawny punkers began punching my friend. I got an unprovoked elbow in my nose and a crack at my head. I pushed the guy down on the edge of the stage, my friend hit a guy in his mouth and we both pulled ourselves out with a couple of the guys, with whom we squared it off with. It was just a misunderstanding.

Other than that I’ve always gotten out without any trouble. It’s less painful to converse.

I tried to flag a cab driver down in Kansas City. He had pulled into the parking lot of a liquor store, and I walked up to his cab. As he discovered it was closed, he tore out of there, nearly running me over. He drove to the Quicktrip across the street, and I ran over there to confront him, and ask if he had seen me. As I reached hem, the motherfucker hauled off and punched me in the mouth!

We called the police, and they would not breathalyze the scumbag, OR let me press charges! Apparently he had claimed that I had hit him first, which I obviously hadn’t - not a mark on him, I was the one with the bleeding mouth. I’m three for three on shitty experiences with the Kansas City, Missouri Police (especially annoying as my father was a KCMO cop.)
