Instance in a garage

There was an instance that convinced me to keep studying martial arts, its a damn good story....I was getting a tire changed on my car, as the mechanic was letting the car down he noticed the ying/yang patch that was sewn on my windbreaker and asked about it.
I told him I was studying Shorin-Ryu, he himself was a card carrying American Combat Karate sensei.. An we chatted as we waked back to the office..A big jock type was next in line and had heard us talking. " Karate huh!, I study .357 Magnum". The mechanic walked over to this jerk and asked " Do you have your weapon on you now?"
"Well no", the jock replied...The mechanic's eyes glazed over and he seemed to emit a vibration that was disturbing.." Well that's too bad" ,he said.. " I always have my weapons on me". and he held up his hands which looked like as hard as steel and his fingers had the shape of rebar..The jock left without having repairs done...I have been studying ever since...

Drac,

That is a very cool story. Seems you meet fellow MAists in the strangest of places.
