| You know you fence too much when...
In the weight room you can leg press at least twice your body weight for high reps, but you can't do 25 pushups.

| You know you fence to much when you (literally) bump into a tall attractive woman at the office coffee pot and the first thing you think is "epeeist".

| You know you fence too much when you are hiking through the woods looking at piles of bear poop along the trail and thinking, “If a bear attacks, I can use my hiking stick to keep him away with clever counter attacks”.
Then you think, “But wait! I’m climbing Bearfence Mountain, so the bears here already know how to fence…….”

You know you fence too much when you've seen this same thread over and over again, yet still read it and laugh.

YKYFTM when someone looks at your arm in concern, asking if everything is alright and you respond - oh yeah, no worries I'm not really left-handed, so my distance terrible and my parries have no strength.
They continue to look concerned.

| Ykyftm....
You know you fence too much that when you’re asked to say grace at the dinner table, you reach out to hold the hands of the people on either side of you, bow your head and say,
“En garde….”
Our twelve-year-old son did this. It was a LONG time before our family could stop laughing to really say grace... | |

YKYAFW you seea shirt that says FeNCr and you say "aha, fencer." not "wtf? Iron-nitrogen-chromium?"  and then you go and wear it to chem class...

| YKYFTM when you are able to calculate the exact weekdays for random dates in the next 6 month because you know the dates of the tournaments off the cuff. | |

when you go down a long hallway with three steps, then three advances, then three steps, etc. just to keep it interesting.
