Karate guy who was a bit too arrogant and one of his instructors kicked him full force in the temple. He was in a coma for a few weeks and afterwards, lost his sense of taste.
He drove around in a big V8 Oldsmobile with a license plate GUNGFU
When I was in elementary school I knew a kid who one day had a black eye. It was in a U shape with his eye in the center and the bruising going from under up around the sides of his eyes.
He was messing with a horse and it jumped up and kicked him in the face. Hence the U shaped bruise of the horseshoe.
Your thread reminded me of something I haven’t thought of in decades.
