Ouch!

That reminds me of the tale told by an old acquaintance of mine, who had 
served on some air-defense radar installation, of how they'd keep an 
older fellow soldier at bay when he got all enraged and charging for the 
hilltop bunker they were sitting in.

You know, the old guy had a pacemaker... so pace he did make when he saw 
those radar antennae slowly closing in on his direction...
