The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age. Some have floated on the sea, and trouble carried them on its surface as the sea carries cork. Some have sunk at once to the bottom as foundering ships sink. Some have run away from their own thoughts. Some have coiled themselves up into a stoical indifference. Some have braved the trouble, and defied it. Some have carried it as a tree does a wound, until by new wood it can overgrow and cover the old gash.

I won't mention any names, because we'll probably get in trouble, but we took this guy egging... like we were egging all these houses. It was too funny. Just being a hooligan, being an idiot really -- but nothing illegal.
