Sit in the back smoking a cigar or pipe, sipping bourbon, and watch the show.

I too found it enjoyable. Only time I ever got involved even accidentally was when two guys fighting slammed into the foosball table and pinned me between it and the wall. I took a handle to the nuts but not too badly.

I had a coworker who started doing MMA and taking steroids because he was tired of getting beaten up at the bars all the time. The only thing he achieved was to get beaten up by better fighters. I was like "dude, you could try just being polite to people like I do, or worst case you could just stop going to bars every night".

Luckily, I haven't been in a fist fight since highschool. But yeah, I never had much trouble, in bars, myself. Always polite, especially to bartenders and servers, tip well. I've hung out a lot with rough crew. Few times someone got shitty with me, pretty much half the bar would tell them to knock it off.

Long shot, but you run bingo in drag?

Ha ha no way! I only play bridge in drag ...
