How to Fight

The Saudis have concluded their investigation and announced that Jamal Khashoggi entered their consulate in Turkey and started a fist fight with 14 security experts,  one of whom had a bone saw. As it turns out, my family has a history of fist fights that goes back more than one hundred years, and here are some maxims my family taught me that Khashoggi should have known.

1. Always throw the first punch. Many fights consist of one punch. 

2. Never punch a guy with a bone saw.

That must be why, when I look back on the more than ten fist fights that are part of our lore, including my last effort at 67, which must be the age record in my family, not one of us has been dismembered once the fight ended. 

It's common sense.
