Is it bad I kept hearing the line as "Rain some justice on your head"?? Probably my brain defaulting back to the great El Kabong, which requires a quick jump up to lay the kabong out across yonder victims head proper like.
Interesting tidbit of information: the actual martial art was called "Bartitsu" (with another "t"), because it was invented by Edward Barton-Wright. But the spelling error isn't the Captian's this time--the "Baritsu" spelling comes from the Sherlock Holmes story "The Empty House", in which Holmes describes how he escaped Moriarty at the Reichenbach. (This is possibly because of a newspaper article on Bartitsu which appeared a year before Conan Doyle wrote the story--this newspaper article misspelled it "Baritsu" also.) And ever since then, most people think of it as "Baritsu".
