I'm 73 y.o. and have only hit ONE woman in my life......
Working derricks on a drilling rig outta Pecos TX in "74 and we had a floorhand named "Jackie".
She was +/- 6' & 200lbs. and chewed "Days Work" chewing tobacco. She could hold her own on the rig, but didn't know which end of the cue stick one should apply chalk.
On the way in from working daylights, we stopped for a beer at a little beer joint just out of town and a pool game ensued that I won. She got pissed 'cuz I laughed at her and slapped me, saying "You ain't laughing now".
Well, a good right hook turned her lights out for the moment and I said "That's right and you're not either". She didn't come to work the next day and got a job on another rig. I STILL don't feel bad about that!
