    You know your significant other is a fencer when....

    That's right folks, it's time to post your best ways to tell you're dating/married to a fencer...
    Here's a few to get started:
    ~He tells you one of the first things he noticed about you was your beautiful footwork.
    ~He says "Thank God you fence too, or I'd never see you."
    ~Going to a tournament seems like a nice way to spend the weekend together.

    This one isn't mine, but one of my coaches proposed to his girlfriend (also a fencer) while recieving his medals at nationals a couple of years back.

    OK, you know your SO is a fencer when...

    1. Your terms of endearment to her turn-up on a fencing.net message thread, and instead of being suprised, you wonder why you didn't think of it first...
    2. You go to a tournament together and hardly see each other because you're both fencing (well, not quite, but...)
    3. You meet her parents for the first time, you guessed it, at a tournament...
    4. You ask her what she wants for a Christmas/birthday present, and she says "fencing equipment..."

    More as I think of them...

    sorry everyone, I don't know why that posted itself twice... grr, technology...

    You know your significant other is a fencer when he comes over to tell you everything you missed because you left early from practice!

    It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag. - Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC
