You may all know how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you with armed with a piece of fresh fruit, but are you familiar with The Different Methods of Defending Oneself with a Walking-Stick or Umbrella when Attacked under Unequal Conditions?

I guess I get .000000000001% credit in that this is PART TWO of the series, and what was previously linked was only part one. But still, for shame on the jonson, what had foolishly thought his double postin' days was behind him.

I was happy to see it again and now I feel bad for saying anything.

you should now have sufficient room to swing your stick to right and left across people's faces and heads until they disperse.

excellent.

cool links. Now I just need to start carrying a walking stick and wait until someone with a larger one attacks me.

I carry an umbrella (the non-collapsible kind) pretty much everywhere with me.

It comes in handy for fending off umbrella thieves.

I want a font designed from this.
It's almost all there.

But, can you wield a banana to defend yourself against an umbrella armed assailant? I suspect not...

I thought the flying circus skits were a lot better in now for something completely different, fresh fruit included.
