Were you an off-duty police officer at the time of this incident ?  My only
self-defense weapon is 240bhp, 4 good tires, and a tankful of gas...

I've got to tell you - this is an awesome line.  most people in your
situation would either urinate all over themselves, or shoot someone...  the
line ' ... then he dies first ' is extremely logical and to the point.  are
you sure you didn't miss your calling in life as a systems analyst ?
