Doing the math would have been easier

There are always those times when a conversation turns towards what age everyone is. This is evidently what happened around 10pm May 27 2007 in a mobile home on the 1200 block of Paseo Derecho in San Antonio TX.

Two cousins there began to argue about who was the older of the two. Now logic would say, compare your birthdates or driver licenses if you want to be sure no one is being dishonest. Drinking alcohol tends to cloud logic, so the cousins began to fight it out Texas style. One of the cousins grabbed a pitchfork and that is when their 53 year old uncle stepped in to break it up.

It came to a halt quickly when one of the nephews stabbed his uncle in the arm with the pitchfork, EMS was called and they transported the wounded uncle to Methodist Hospital with non life threatening injuries. The pitchfork wielding nephew was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and the other cousin will not be charged with anything.

This could all have been handled much easier if they had just done the math and I think that if there is a next time, their uncle may decide to just let them duke it. The math though may have been a challenge as evidenced by the recent showing of spelling on protest signs there.
