Fencing with plastic hammers during the Israeli Independence Day.

The Text

During one of the Israeli Independence days, my high school friend and I bought plastic noise-emitting hammers. Later that evening, we used them to fence, while at the shopping centre. It was fun.

Some days later, back at school, a different friend criticised us for having fenced in public. But what’s wrong with that? People do that at Science Fiction / fantasy / etc. conventions, all the time.
