I'm giving a fencing demonstration in a giant gym. I start with foil and go really slowly. For some reason the crowd enjoys it. I then have to switch to epee. But I don't have an epee. I ask one gentleman I know for an epee. but he gives me one with an old fashioned bronze guard. I try to get him to give me one of the epee's with normal guards that I can plainly see in his bag. He refuses.
While I go to look for the epee I get a text message telling me it is all well and good that I am giving a foil. It would be better if I actually moved back and forth during the epee lesson.
I then ask the Yeti for one. He hands me a foil he has just glued and tells me not to let the blade unbend while he goes to get me a proper epee. I can watch the wire pop in and out of it's groove while he goes to get the epee.
Can't imagine why I am dreaming of fencing lessons.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
