My brother in laws father is quite a well known Tito partisan leader (Ignatzio the Red, Tito was a Croat) still likes to dance the "Moreska" at 80+ yrs his Kalash, is kept under lock and key so the "children" do not hurt themselves! My wife is a "Bushido" proponent! strange for a women but with my mouth it keeps me safe!
