He grabs the girl, turns her upside down and gets his money pouch back?  Or, he laughs it off and is impressed by the girl’s bravery at swiping the pouch off a man that is 3 feet taller and probably 240 pounds heavier than her.  No, he shouts out, “Help Guard, she grabbed my pouch!”  Needless to say, the whole table broke up in laughter at the unintentional double entendre and he had a lot of one liners about the manliness of said barbarian.Scene 2:  later that evening, a performance at a crowded inn, a petite dancing girl (petite in this city is like 4'3" to 4’6”, probably) notices the huge barbarian and thinks he would make a good dance partner and a good image next to her.  So, she drags him out to the floor during some rowdy music (other dancing girls dragged other patrons out as well.), and when it is over, we were supposed to toss coins onto the dance floor.  So, of course, the rest of the party is enjoying this and we all toss coins out towards our barbarian.  He then shouts, “Stop!  You could put out my eye!”  I think it took the group over 30 minutes to get our composure back after those torrents of laughter.  Now, there was no doubt that our supposedly macho barbarian was not very manly.</blockquote>
