For instance, My father was home listening to his Johnny Cash and having a beer or two. My younger brother comes home from the bars with a couple of friends. My father was like 64 at the time, my brother was 21. Now my father is maybe 5'9" and almost 165lbs. not big at all.
So one of my brother's friends gets in my dad's face, dont know why or how, so my dad clocks him once, chipped a tooth and dropped him to the ground, the kid did not get back up. Shock and lack of expirence will drop most and keep them there.

Is your little brother a loser too, or did he get after his friend for bothering your father?

He is better now, was/is always the "baby" of the family, when he quit drinking his friend's improved. This all happened about 10 years ago. And i bet my father could still do it.
