| Ah, the elusive 10th parry!!! Stroller parry.
A bout might go something like this:
Roll forward,
roll back,
roll forward,
"Hey, Mary are you done reading that Knitting Weekly there on your stroller shelf, my son needs a new scarf" ,
"Sure Madge, let me bend over and get it."
-Madge thrusts to Mary's flank. Point Madge.
Col Sanders the ref: "The score is 1- ..... hmmmm.... I remember when Frank Sinatra came to town and all the ladies went ga-ga. They had the most delicious sandwiches there...with relish..."

| I saw that in Metro the other day -- wonderful!
(The other thing not so wonderful was that the person who'd written the text wrote the old people had been given épées to fence with... *cringe*  )

I doubt they can remember that. I also don't really see them as the counter-attacking type so I guess it could go either way.

That being said, I would love to see one of them do a fleche.
