My cousin (who is a very good story teller by the way) served in Poland and sent this story to me.
"Once upon a time, my companion and I were out inviting people to our
English class. It was a cold January night in the city of Lublin,
Poland. Elder Šorn, a German kid, and I had set up a whiteboard and
written something about learning American English (or did we write a
joke about getting a free green card?) so as to get people to come to
our religion-related English class. Things were going well and we were
meeting a lot of cool people.
Maybe 30-45 minutes into our white
boarding session, we heard and saw a group of "hoolis" walking down the
promenade. Hoolis were mainly soccer-obsessed riff raff who mainly spent
their days drinking. We figured if we didn't pay any attention to them
that they would leave us alone. They walked by, non-soberly inquiring as
to what we were doing and went on their way. I turned to Elder Šorn and
more than likely made a witty quip about soccer.
As I was turned
towards Elder Šorn, my back was now to these hoolis. They decided to
come back and one of them, Hooli 1, shoved me from behind into the white
board and I knocked it over with my face. I turned around and asked
them what the heck were they doing. Another one, Hooli 2, went over to
Elder Šorn and asked him "if his gums were itchy." Šorn told him that he
didn't understand and so then Hooli 2 came over to me and posed the
same question. I'm not sure what I said back but it was probably along
the lines of "no thank you sir, please go away now." Now, Hooli 2 went
back over to Šorn and straight up decked him right in the jaw. As I was
running over, Hooli 2 then head butted Šorn right in the face. I got
there and Hooli 2 turned to me and then punched me in the head. This
Hooli 2 then started chasing Šorn around yelling at him to give him his
phone. I had our phone in my pocket and so I told Šorn to start running
which we did. We ran maybe 50 yards until we realized they weren't
chasing us but had instead taken our whiteboard and were now smashing it
on the ground.
And then they left and we went home and probably ate some Nutella"
The End.
