Fist Bumps Instead of Fisticuffs
Level 19

As soon as Alexi Siebelcortopassi sat at the table, the fireworks began.
His delay in checking into the table irritated Steven Buckner so much so that the two had a mild verbal confrontation, during which Buckner asked Siebelcortopassi, who is some 40 years his junIor, to meet him outside.
About the time the floor was called, Siebelcortopassi was acting even younger, mocking Buckner by using his balled fists to wipe away fake tears.
"Oh, keep crying like a little baby," Siebelcortopassi said before the floor intervened.
Despite the early intensity, the two Floridians put the argument behind them.
Exactly 12 minutes after the exchange, the two were laughing and fist-bumping each other.
