Your writeup of the "fight" reminded me of something that I remember from sixth grade.

Me and some other kid squared off at recess for whatever reason, and I'm standing there very quietly looking at my opponent, who is dancing around, making a lot of noise. Then he stops, throws back his shoulders and starts yelling, "HOLD ME BACK! HOLD ME BACK!" Everyone stopped what they were doing, and began looking around, but no one saw fit to hold him back.

I said, "So are we still doing this?" and he settled down quickly and wandered away. I was laughing too hard to demand that we continue.
