When I was 17 I was 6'3 and weighed 180 lbs muscular..... my dad was a shrimp compared to me, and he was in his mid 50's. He was also an ex-merchant marine who served during WW II, tough bunch of guys on them ships let me tell you. No way in HELL I would have messed with him.
He caught me at the back door one night, as I was trying to sneak a girl down to the bedroom in the basement, and I'll never forget what he said to me..... "you think you're goddam tough? C'mon, let's find out".... my response was to look at the girl and say "well, see ya"
ha ha.
That was 23 years ago, and I'd still think twice about messing with him.
