There are plenty of good ways of easin' tension. One way is to have a couple slugs of whisky. Another way is to go to the local bar and have a few there while yakkin' to your pals and boastin' about your accomplishments, imaginary or otherwise. If sometime through the evenin' you find your tension risin' again because the dope across the table or at the bar is bein' a jerk, you can defuse all that tension by bustin' a chair over his head and throwin' him down the stairs or out the nearest window, if there is one. If there ain't you just pitch him into a wall or some other vertical surface. If he bounces back, you do it again. If all else fails to release tension, I find that firin' off a full drum of ammo from a tommy gun does wonders. Just aim it around at things in general. Get someone else to clean up the mess afterward if at all possible.
