Appalling lack of manners though. You're supposed to slap your gloves across their face and have their seconds call upon yours. Geez, where has common courtesy gone???

Collision prompts Sunnyside sword fight

"A hit-and-run collision Wednesday followed by a brief sword fight led police to arrest a 25-year-old man for assault.

About 4 p.m., the Sunnyside man spotted a 27-year-old rival and intentionally rammed his 1981 Ford F-150 pickup into the man’s vehicle as he backed out of his driveway in the 100 block of South 11th Street, said Charlotte Hinderlider, Sunnyside police spokeswoman.

The alleged assailant brandished a sword, swinging it at his enemy, who had climbed out of his own vehicle, Hinderlider said.

The suspect fell, giving the victim time to pick up a machete that happened to be laying in his yard and defend himself from his alleged attacker, Hinderlider said. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother, still in the vehicle, dialed 9-1-1 from her cellular phone."

It says a sword not a rapier. The guy doing the assault was probably a Viking since he rammed his truck into his victim's vehicle. Probably with a hearty "Ramming Speeeeeeeed!!!!!!"

Must be in the South. Not from what the people did, mind you, but if you have a machete just happening to be laying in your yard you must have some problems with kudzu...
