As I have told many people since I've grown older: I'm getting too old to fight, and I'm too bullheaded to just take an @$$whipping, so my only alternative is to shoot their sorry @$$ and drop a sharped screwdriver next to their body...
As I was told by my father many years ago: "Son, don't go starting fights... But if you find yourself in the middle of one, remember that there are NO rules, and end the fight with whatever you have at hand."

Strong copy, on all points.
I had a great-uncle who was a retired Marine, veteran of WWII, Korea, and the early part of Vietnam. He once told me, “Don’t go pickin’ fights with anyone who’s too old or weak to fight you; he’ll likely just kill you and have done with it.”
Good advice then as now.
