Knowing he was defeated, he left feeling shamed. Finally, the young warrior exhausted himself. But the old warrior merely stood there motionless and calm. For hours he verbally assaulted him with every curse and insult known to mankind. As the two squared off for battle, the young warrior began to hurl insults at the old master. Much against the advice of his concerned students, the old master gladly accepted the young warrior's challenge. No one had ever lasted with him in a match beyond the first move.

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
