(Another Fathers Day posting).
Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) is a character in a wonderful movie The Princess Bride. At the point when he and the Dread Pirate Roberts propose to fight with swords, Inigo asks whether his opponent has six fingers on his right hand. He does not. Inigo explains that his father, a great sword-maker, had been commissioned by a 6 fingered man to make a sword. His father slaved at the work for a year, then the 6 fingered man offered one tenth of the agreed price. When his father refused, the 6 fingered man slashed his father through the heart. Inigo, who was eleven at the time, fought the man but was defeated. The man left him alive and left him the sword.
Inigo Montoya: I was eleven years old. When I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing, so the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Dread Pirate Roberts: You've done nothing but study swordplay?
