I thought the fight had already taken place...

It reminded me of the scene in "Enter the Dragon" where some guy challenges Bruce Lee to a fight in a boat, and he tells him that it is best if they fight in a nearby island. The challenger eagerly jumps in a boat, at which point Bruce Lee leaves him there.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

that reminds me of my fiance's grandparents. About 30 years ago or so they got this bright idea that the IRS is a bad thing and they refuse to pay income taxes. It wasn't because they didn't have the money. At the time they had real estate valued at around 400,000 (which is a whole lot back then) and other means of income. They decided to fight the system. Well a couple years later the IRS came in, sold all of the houses, took their savings, and they had to declare bankruptcy. To this day they still think the IRS did them wrong. The IRS was never suppose to be that powerful and if they had a chance to they would fight again. I personally try not to laugh out loud.

The art of fighting without fighting. That's a great scene from one of my favorit movies.
