"He who has never raised a BFH in honest anger, has not done much work on these old trucks, or is heavily sedated, or is a big fat liar."

"I am not going to be outsmarted by an inanimate object". That was decades ago but his words stayed with me."

I have avoided this situation/conundrum/absurdity by simply walking away and considering my options (I do not like to shoot first and ask questions later). I have found walking away, having a drink/diversion/etc to be far more productive. My friends, associates, relatives, employees,students have asked me "don't you ever get mad".
