Does that count?

MYTH BUSTER: PE and I got in one long fight one night over a 'slight misunderstanding' when coming out of the La Cueva in Juarez - we wound up fighting our way with I don't know how many locals with nothing better to do with their time than look for a fight as we worked our way back towards the border crossing into El Paso - we got separated in a struggle with a couple of street vendors and a taxi driver, and I had to beg two pennies for the turnstile to cross back to El Paso. The amazing thing - contrary to all the stories I'd heard about hispanics and knives while growing up - was that nobody pulled a knife that night. FWIW - I'm still miffed that my new jeans got torn that night and I lost these two really cool Bacardi bat-logo glasses somewhere along the way.

And so it goes...
