Recent conversation with Brenda.
Brenda: My aunt just had a birthday. She's 94.
me: What's her name, Aunt Tique?
Brenda: No, Aunt Sybil. And don't let her hear you call her that. She's pretty feisty.
me: I think I could take her. Maybe when she's napping.

me: I'd box her. I'm not afraid to hit an old lady. My prediction: Early Knockout.
Brenda: You or her?
me: Her. I'll hit her in the locker room with a pipe.
