The young lads at work were playing around outside yesterday attempting to whip each other with wet T towels.
I watched them enjoying their innocent horse play. They were just slapping the towels at each other's legs and laughing but boys being boys one of them got too big for his boots and started to get cocky.
"Ha! This doesn't even hurt!" One lad said to the other.
"Well no I'm not putting any power behind it though" replied the other lad
It wasn't a case of power, their technique was wrong the towel was open and they were smashing the towels down similar to a overhead throw like a cricket ball making a small thudding sound.
"Nah your just a weak little pussy that's why!"
Usually I wouldn't intervene in these things but I'm not a fan of young skinny kids getting picked on even if it is just banter, so I interjected.
"Pass me the towel mate?" I asked the skinny lad "I want to show you something"
"Ooo now your getting a girl to fight your battles!" The cocky one starts
A sinister little chuckle comes out of me as I twist the towel, tightening it as much as I can.
"You see lads, life isn't all about power and strength" I muse a loud as I get into a decent stance.
"Sometimes it's about knowledge, for example. I might not have as much technical strength as you young chaps"
I lower my hands once the cocky lad naturally backed off and turned just enough so I could get to the back of his thighs, he probably thought it was doing to hurt less...bless him
CRACK!
I flick my wrist with as much grace and speed as I was taught though my weapons as usually abit more "technical" than this but the towel made the lovely thundering sound as it whipped the young lad at the back of his thigh.
"Fuck! Ah! Stop it! That hurts! The cocky one cries out as he bends to the floor rubbing the back of his thigh.
"but I do have a technique" I muse again
I wink at the skinny one has he smiles widely after I just humbled his mate a little throwing the towel back at him.
"It's all in the wrist mate" I say to him as I walk back inside
"where'd you learn to do that!" He calls after me
"Don't ask."
