Funny stories? As a foil, there has been two funny events that I remember pertaining to yelling.
Does anyone have any funny fencing stories?
I have two about yelling.
1. A fencer once yelled loudly like he was hit in the middle of an exchange. There was a lull in the moment, then the opposing fencer immediately stopped, dropped his guard, then went over and asked worriedly, "Are you ok-" and lost the bout 14-15.
2. Somewhere in New York, a fencer scored 14-13 thinking it was 15-13, then jumped up, yelling and screaming in joy. He threw his mask down and assumed the gloating position and face, shouting for a good two minutes. The other fencer stared at him and said, the score is 14-13. Without embarrassment, the yelling fencer went back to en guard, wordless. The bout was won 14-15 by the non-yelling fencer, who then yelled right after because of his amazing and dignified win.
The funny thing is, the crazy-yelling-monsterous fencer then yelled right after the loss in anger, turned and tripped, falling flat on his face, lied there for a moment and got up with a bloody forehead. His eyes demoniacally stared ahead with the red crimson drooling erratically with dripplettes onto the strip. He roared and left. He was not embarrassed.
About every fencer in every bout stopped and stared at the event. Laughter of roughly 100 people consumed the walls when the door shut behind him.

there's always the classic of the fake mask removal. Disengage and just move like your going to take it off and go for the touch. "The essence of fencing is to give, but by no means to receive."
