I have a funny story. I was in the military stationed in Colorado Springs at Fort Carson and it was 230 a.m. and we were sitting at Denny's enjoying the nasty drunk mans food and a fight broke out. A guy fell into our seats and threw a punch for no reason and one of the guys gave him a very nice get away from our table throw. Then the police came and during the altercation my buddy who was eating pancakes had a butter knife in his hand while he was trying to push a guy away from our table. The police almost took him to jail because he had a butter knife in his hand. It was considered a deadly weapon. Thank God he was the DD and was sober or he would have went to jail. They let him off the hook. The moral of the story is do not have anything in your hand when you are trying to brake up a fight.
