There’s a real art to combat smack talking.  Some people say it is a waste of time.  Me, I think that anything that make’s the other guy think about anything other than killing me is real nice.  Psychological Warfare the eggheads call it.  I call it fighting smart.  Perhaps the most fun four words I’ve gotten to say are “I have your gun.”  I love the dawning look of comprehension on their faces.  It really is priceless.
