The puncher collapses in a sweaty, exhausted heap. The punch-ee (sue me, I'm using it) grins and asks, "Had enough?"

And yet we keep arguing with them.
[I am not saying we agree on who the unswayable people are. I am sure everyone has their own unique list. This is not an attempt to get people to pile on to a 'yeah!
