David had always known this guy to be pretty mild mannered.

But he is a large, very strong man with a black belt in karate.

I knew what he was capable of.

So I suggested that we go out for a walk.

And I basically spent the next half hour walking around with him, trying to cool him off.

And eventually, he did.

He just calmed down.

And did you go back to the party then and continue dinner partying for a while?

And he did too?

Yes, and he did too.

And then he seemed fine when I said goodbye to him.

He seemed calm, and I left and went home.

And then it was several hours later in the middle of the night that I got the call.

And it was his friend.

And he says, can I come over and sleep on your couch?

If I don't leave my house right now, I'm going to kill her.

He was in this state of fury, he said, and instead of hitting his wife, he smashed his fist into the bathroom mirror and then realized that he had to leave the house or he was going to do damage to her.

And so he says that and you're like, okay, yes, come over now.

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly.
