I once fought a kangaroo, it was in 1973. we had both been drinking quite a bit of Irish whiskey and the punk started to come at me. We took a few swings before a copper found us, and if one of them dames at the bar hadn't been egging us on I would have finished it. but you try to tell stories like this to kids today, they just don't believe you.
