Please explain your wife getting hit.
Not hit, hit on... If she were hit, then I could have used my purple belt skills.
I can't remember the exact conversation, but, at the end, I remember him telling me "You're a lucky, lucky man". Saying lucky once is one thing, saying it twice in that context is just creepy.
Dave,
My friend slept with Gumbel's wife while they were breaking up so it's cool. We got him back!! -True Story.
When you say you "walked away from the sport" of karate it seems like Karate was the one who lost out. Not sure if you should look at it that way.

Why 35? I can't explain my behavior, so I'll add #36:
36. Sometimes when I make lists, I stop at seemingly insignificant numbers.
