Re: Almost

Back in the 70s, I used to run movie theaters. Needless to say, one of the most dangerous times is after all the movies have let out and you have to tour the entire theater, bathrroms, back stages, and so on. If someone wants to stay after the movie and try to ransack the place, then they are going to try to be hiding. I used to do the tour with the doorman that stayed until the theaters closed up. I would always warn them, when I first hired them, to never try to jump out of somewhere and try to scare me.

I still remember his name...Troy. He decided to jump out of a bathroom entrance at me, as I was walking in, doing the check. My fist almost instantly connected with his mouth. It was kind of bad because he was wearing braces and it caused a lot of bleeding. The fortunate thing is that I recognized him even while I was throwing the punch, and I backed off some. I felt really bad, but he was cool since I had warned him to not do the exact same thing he did.

I can only hope, 30+ years later, that I stil have good reaction times, and the ability to quickly make out when a situation may not be what it seems to be.
