Yet another reason to bring my nunchucks to work.

While working my day-job at a local fish and aquarium store last week, an irate customer attempted to provoke a fight with my boss. The man looked like a cross between a bad Steven Seagal impersonator and the bad guy from The Karate Kid III. Under normal circumstances, such a person would not arouse much physical intimidation. However, on this particular day, our friend was accessorizing a "Crocodile Dundee" style knife on his belt. To be fair, it was really more like a small sword. Anyhoo, it's still unclear why he became so infuriated but one question has baffled me ever since:
What is more frightening, a man who carries a two foot knife on his belt, or a guy who tries to look like Steven Seagal?
