Try the Laverne & Shirley (at least I think that’s where I saw this) method: stomp on a foot then put a knee in the nuts.

My grandfather’s recomendation is a grab’n’yank, but that requires thought. I’m kind’a dangerous in that I go into Og Smash mode when surprised, I just lash out. A friend who once jumped on top of me when I was swimming in the pool still has the four parallel scars from my nails…

Women grope men in kilts? I mean, god, I’ve been tempted, but…I have restraint!..

It’s not a huge problem, but it is embarrassing. Believe me, it ain’t a thrill.

Back on subject, I also would add my throat-punch to whosoever was loudly accused of groping in my vicinity.

Oops.

To my surprise, the guy starting ranting and raving and produced a box cutter…

Box cutter…box cutter…  
Where’ve I heard that term before?

This happens to my wife all the time when I’m not there on the A train. Though the last time she got groped, it was by a very attractive woman. Alas, they did not exchange numbers.

One fool actually grabbed her chest on the LIRR. She broke his nose.
