I imagine most 145 pound Marines can kick the sh*t out of most 200+ FReepers so you all know big is not the determining factor.

How well will the 145 lb. Marine do against a 200 lb. Marine? That is the relevant question.

By the same token, occasionally a woman will defeat a man in a fight (often due to a male mental hangup against "hitting a girl"), but that doesn't mean that the average man will not routinely clobber the average woman when it comes down to it.

Given equal ability, the bigger, stronger person will almost invariably win.

Not to enflame the Army vs. Marine issue - oh, well I guess I will - I remember when I was at a joint service school and was slugged in the back of the head by an obviously drunk lance corporal while I was returning to my barracks room. As I remember it, I simply kept walking - the punch wasn't much in the way of power - and about 30 seconds later a Marine SSG came racing down the hallway to 1) apologize for the stupidity of the said lance corporal who was receiving some wall-to-wall counseling and 2) to express his admiration for my control and discipline.

We now return to our regularly scheduled broadcast. HOO-AH.

Go Star Go; I think your are right on the money.

My problem is with my hearing.

It seems everytime I walk into a bar, I start talking when I should be listening.

I am 220 and 6'3. As usual I was beakin off. That got me one hell of a licking.

But I think it was my hearing that caused it.

I thought this,(obviously tougher than me guy), said "Get Up" when what he really said was "Shut Up".So now before I go bar hoppin, I always make sure I have a new battery in my hearing aid.:<(.
