The Kenny Cooper Fuck-You Principle
"I was blinded and somewhat "retarded" by rage, throwing on my boots and running downstairs to engage Mr. Drug Dealer. I confronted him in front of this group of low lifes and that's when I heard a term that has meant so much to me as a law enforcement instructor: "woofing." "Don't woof me man" was what Mr. Drug Dealer said. It took me a long time to understand just what he meant. The fact I survived that incident gave me a clue! "Woofing" as I have developed the concept, is something akin to a bluff, but much more . . . By the cut of your dress, the look in your eyes, your demeanor and assertive verbal commands, compliance can be achieved with little or no "touching." . . . Would it not be better to achieve the magic word, COMPLIANCE, by making the potential offender believe that not to comply will lead to serious, untold and unpleasant consequences for him. In most cases, the elusive consequence is as substantive as smoke in the wind. Even though our stomachs are tossing, our look and demeanor broadcast serious negative results if the potential offender does not comply."

"I'm a lit major, right? So I'm doing like three hours of reading a night, now, like crazy amounts of reading. And then I have to devote three hours a night to my relationship, too. It's like having a second major! I don't have that kind of time!"
