Look what I found in the attic, Gram! Goodness! Those are your grandfather's old boxing gloves! Gramps was a BOXER? Indeed I was, m'boy! I fought as a lightweight for a year or two after I finished high school! I'll show you some of my moves, Nate! Help me put those things on! Now, Vern... Relax, Marge. I'm just going to do some shadowboxing! Lace 'em up, champ! These laces are all dry and brittle. Oh, they're fine! Tug harder! *snap!* If anyone counts to ten, I'm not going to be happy. Once a lightweight, always a lightweight!

Don’t laugh too hard – my 73 yo grandfather was well lit coming out of a bar when 3 guys came upon him and asked him for money. He was stopped by the police running after the 3rd one with his own knife after he knocked out the other 2. The cops asked the 3 if they wanted to press charges and then they were told that they would have to put the old man in the same lockup as they were in.Boxing in the navy and the bare knuckle brawls from the oilfields and 30s carnivals taught him a lot.
