Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16
The story is true. Angelo Siciliano was a 97-pound weakling from Brooklyn. When he was fourteen years old and on a date at the beach, a couple of tough twelve year olds came along and started kicking sand on his Sunday suit. When his girl asked if he were going to defend his honor, Angelo feebly protested that he was too frail and skinny to be a champion. At that point she got up and left him.
