A man by the name of Terrence got into an argument with three men in his neighborhood and it escalated into a fight. Terrence took a beating at the hands of the three men, and returned home.
Upon returning home, his wife said to him, "Haven't you forgot about the matter of death?"
"Definitely not!" he replied.
His wife then retorted, "At any rate, a man dies only once. Out of all the ways to die - disease, traffic accident, getting struck by lightning, or being hung - to die after having suffered a trail of humiliation would be a shame."
The wife left the house.
She soon returned, carefully put the kids to bed, got out some flashlights, dressed herself in dark clothes after nightfall, and then said "When I went out to survey the scene a bit earlier, I saw the three men go into one of their houses to drink and watch television. Now is the right time. Let's go quickly!"
So saying, they went out with the husband in the lead, carrying flashlights and armed with knives. They broke into the place where the three men had gathered and dispersed them; both husband and wife slashing about and killing two of the men and wounding the other. The husband was later sentenced to a life sentence in jail with a possibility for parole after 25 years.

Other than the part in it about not yawming (Which makes sense to avoid, since it slows you down) I think I got the basic essence of the way of the Samurai. This story reflects that quite nicely, and well done.
I wish I had a wife like that. We want more stories of Samurai wife!
Felix,
When's the Doujinshi coming out? 8)
