Camp Cadaho Tohaci, Connecticut (USA), 1936-37: Boxing instruction 

Why does one never see any pugs at these demonstrations?

A very noble art, whereby two supposedly sane men try to knock the shit out of each other. Pugilism builds character and manliness and is especially prevalent in youth groups trying to weed out delinquency in boys and young men.

Ah, a devotee, perhaps, Mr. pudding rat?

I have never quite understood how encouraging people to fight was supposed to discourage deliquency.

Ees a mystery to me, Tommy. I used to belong to a Karate class where we learned to defend ourselves, had great fun and exercise, and developed a since of self respect and personal responsibility, all without hardly ever a bruise. Oh, and it was coed. Oh, oh! And I learned to count in Japanese.
