The old man brandish his walking stick at the menace dog
Rather than release his inner dove, the Nobel Peace Prize may force him to brandish his public hawk.
For if he saw a dog on the road-- a mad dog, mangy dog, or guard-dog -- he would brandish his sword and fell it with a single blow, taking the dog's head back home with him, where he would serve it up as an accompaniment to a good bottle of Shaoxing wine.
