Anyone remember him talking about his fight ring (cut ring) he wore in the joint? Made out of piece of sawed off steel pipe and sharpened on the crown.
I would be surprised if he didn't have some improvised weapon on hand. He was really into that. That's one of the things we connected on. He wasn't the toughest guy, but he was smart and studied self defense beyond his basic training as a "plumber."
SCTV did a funny skit on him nixon, dean and Kissinger. I lost it, but watch it if you find it. I think you'll like Dave Thomas's acting and sense of humor.
