Or perhaps your brother was just lying or just repeating some story he heard at a bar once?

I don’t want to sound mean but I find that story terribly hard to believe, I’ve been in plenty of fist fights and I can’t even imagine a position you would have to be in to rip someoneš arm off. I stand up and yell at the top of my lungs:

“BULLSHIT”!!!
