I was reminded of this by another thread.
Some years ago our local dance/song/music session became the victim of a bodhran nut who turned up every week and totally destroyed the evening.
The elderly musicians, being far too polite to protest, suffered in silence, and any hints thrown out by the rest of us went either unnoticed or ignored.
One Sunday night he came in and foolishly propped his 'instrument' (very loud, but extremely attractive to look at) against an adjacent vacant bar stool.
One of our regular dancers, having had "drink taken", wheeled through the door, swayed over to the bar and hoisted herself up onto the stool, supporting herself by placing her foot on the offending instrument - which shattered into many pieces.
The following week the regulars held a ceremony where they presented her with a medal.
And the rest is silence....
