Mullin might benefit from a little historical research on the activities of the Teamsters' union.

    Step 1: Challenge a teamster to an honest round of fisticuffs.

    Step 2: Mutually approach your opponent arms raised to protect your face.

    Step 3: Wake up (potentially in the hospital) at least a fair fraction of an hour later.

    Step 4: Find out, dazed and confused, that you were concussed right before the fight proper initiated from the bludgeoning of a baseball bat upon your skull by a second teamster.

    Step 5: Resolve to never fuck around again.
