    Fencing

    Where else can you stab someone and even get a medal if you do it well?
    Score 3 strokes, 4 seizures and 2 brain surgeries

    I've had brain surgery, what's your excuse?

    War and politics.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    But in politics isn't it back stabbing?

    Depends what country/time period you're talking about. Caesar is a notable victim of what I'd call "politics."

    You didn't specify an anatomical location.

    If you really knew you'd have specified a gender, too.

    Haha! I regularly say "I'm going to go stab people now!" at the end of the day on fencing days.

    This sort of comment usually gets some interesting responses, the weirdest/coolest being:
    "LUCKY!!!!"

    Most clubs will also have loaner equipment you can use until you decide to make the investment. Beginner gear for a foil, glove, jacket, and mask can be purchased from any number of suppliers (see the web site links) for about $150.
