GL that just brought a smile to my face!

Our second vacation as Newley Weds was to Jamaica back in the mid 90's. The bus ride to Negril was rather longish and they announced a mid point stop for bathroom break and drinks. We pulled into a small off road area with a few shacks and tables for the fleecing of the tourists. Let the harassment begin as soon as we step off the bus. I warned my wife to keep her bag close and that we are not buying anything here, I know my way around this island and will take you to the nice places with the nice islanders. These two guys kept bothering us trying to drag us around and buy some crap for good money. I politely told them "no thank you" several times but this was to be a 30 min stop and they were not happy with my negativity to purchasing. About 10 minutes in one guy puts a scarf over my wife's shoulders and says "so crisp mon, you look crisp in this" as I see the other guy lean towards my wife and reach into her bag. That group of hucksters never saw a wrist lock turned arm bar before. That dude released her purse and yelped like a lamb in a bear trap. Every passenger on our bus saw it go down so needless to say we were back on the road to Negril in minutes. :)

Wife says "What the F... was that move you did back there?" I laughed and said "I told you to watch your bag but you made me watch it instead, so next time listen to me!"
I still laugh about it to this day but she looks petrified when we are traveling now and I say "watch your bag."
