You can't be serious?  There is no way he would have touched my camera, much
less "confiscated it and removed the film".  There would have been blood!
My weapon of choice would have been my M6 w/extended RabidWinder and 75/1.4.
Let him come at me with his lumbering RB67... ;-)

Jerk is not the word!

As I said before, YOU signing a contract does not obligate ME to anything.
The contract would be unenforceable, as far as any obligations I might have,
since I did not sign it.
