So, long story short...

While Travis J. Todd was sparring with a friend

Travis J. Todd made the mistake of

letting him wear a watch

My Advice to You is

even friendly sport should be treated as real sport

Here's the whole story

We used to spar (boxing) in the common room of our dormitory hall my sophomore year in college.

Some people took it more seriously than others, but the gloves and head gear were there for anyone to use and the administration was ignorant of it.

So, one day I decide to take on my severely athletically challenged friend. This, coming from a kid who's allergic to ball sports, my friend made me look like Michael Jordan.

We agreed to just take it easy and throw some practice punches. For some reason we could only find one pair of gloves. So, we each took one glove and said we'd use the spar had for blocking. Unfortunately I thought nothing of the fact that my friend was wearing his crappy watch.

So, we began to lightly go at it and about three minutes in my coordination-challenged com padre threw a wild block/punch combo thing and his watch caught my exposed hand tearing a one inch gash on the back of it. I started cursing and utilizing some kickboxing moves, aiming at genitals.

Still, to this day, I have a scar on my hand.

I can't believe I never got the chance to spar with you guys.. I think it might have been a blessing in disguise as I would have seriously fought Mike and Peter and I would have beaten each other into a bloody pulp.

Why didn't you just masturbate like normal people? Much more fun.
