- No, no! you misunderstood. It was the fist that is in the Chinatown
- shop.

- It's an old technique: When attacked by a tiger, first, put a
- Chinatown shop around your fist, raise your fist (and the shop with
- it, of course) and bring it down on the tiger's head. Even a modestly
- sized Chinatown shop is sufficient to incapacitate most tigers.
