Break Glass in the event of an emergency There are times when it can become necessary to take dramatic measures to make your point. Sometimes just raising your voice can work, having the facts is helpful and visual presentations have been known to work. I've found that during the heat of a debate, one should keep alcoholic beverages to a minimum, you lose tatical ground and usually end up becoming physically aggressive. * Slap * If you do choose to sip martini's and argue facts, make sure your partner is doing so as well, this could end any tweaked-out nonsensical debate easily, either you end up being great friends or each others nemesis for life. Shit happens ;) In any case, throwing things can be an effective in getting your point across, I usually throw books, when I'm particularly peeved at someone I imagine chunking a nice new release towards their awaiting, ignorant foreheads. Usually just the threat of a papercut sends shivers down the spines of the most worthy oppenent but, if you piss me off...prepare yourself for the wrath of Stephen King's latest publication to become lodged into your greasy forhead. Good Fun and a healthy tension reliever!! I don't recommend this method for all in need of getting their point across, you could end up with a nasty reputation or a police record (I've avoided all, so far ;) ). In closing, I do know if you rely on your strengths and know your facts triumph is yours. Celebrate your win with a glass of the finest champagne, dance a victory jig, then chuck that glass against the wall...wooohoooooooooo!
