Interesting thing happened the other night at a local bar. A good friend called and said let's have some drinks--I said sure see ya there (I wasn't drinking alcohol because I have chronic Lyme disease). A local "tough" (who I don't know) there with his girlfriend suddenly whipped out a large folding knife and said to me hold "still, you got a loose thread hanging from your shirt" and trimmed a thread hanging from my armpit before I could say or do anything. Everyone laughed--he certainly enjoyed the shocked look on my face. It later occurred to me that had he chosen to do so he could have plunged the knife into a key vein that could have been fatal. The more I think about the incident the more it bothers me--how do you think I should have handled it--if any differently?
