Mensur
Snicker-snack! Snicker-snack!
Razor-sharp sabers,1.2 meters in length, glancing off thick goggles.
Padded jackets filled with sweat of beer & sausage.
Hard-tanned rawhide nose guards shield 
the future leaders of Germany, standing within 0.5 meters
of each other, slashing with elbows absurdly bent,
from disfigurement.  Cheeks exposed to court the manly scar, 
the ears are vulnerable, sometimes hanging by a thread
by the time the match is called.

Meanwhile, poor mad Vincent sends his to a favorite whore.
Who's the madman here?
