>One of the funniest/sadest moments of my younger days occurred when I was out and about with a friend of mine, who was trying to hit on a girl who was out with a guy and another girl.

>The cops were called. A pair showed up. A guy manybe 5'6". And a lady not a whole lot taller. IT appeared to give the guy more motivation to throw stuff. They called for reinforments and a couple guys your size showed up. The guy imediately stopped throwing stuff.

Yeah, size can be a deterrent factor. When I first started out, I worked the jail and we had a bad guy who was only about 6' but weighed about 270. He was always fighting with the deputies, until the day one of our new hires showed up. Francis "Bubba" Winkler played for the Green Bay Packers under Vince Lombardi and was 6'5 and 280 pounds. He was taken to meet this particular prisoner on his first day. We never had any more problems out of him. (I worked out with Bubba and I soon learned that NFL people aren't normal. He could dunk a basketball, was quicker than a cat and stronger than a bull - he is also one of the nicest guys you'd want to meet).
