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…….”

When you gain too much weight and think of nothing else but how to reapportion it.
I have quit fencing and lost weight.

Yep.

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

You know you love us - that's why you couldn't leave!

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...

in the same vein (pun intended), YKYFTM when you go to the doctors and need to get 2 shots. so you say "which one hurts more?" and ask for that one specifically to be put in your non weapon arm!

You know you fence too much if you advance down the aisle at the grocery store at random times.

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...
