I know the rule, but I just had to send this true story out...
after all, it's almost Friday, eh?

Car jacking Foiled: An elderly lady did her shopping and upon
return found 4 males in her car. She dropped her shopping bags
and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at them at the top
of her voice that she knows how to use it and that she will if
required... so get out of the car! The 4 men didn't wait around
for a second invitation but got out and ran like mad, where upon
the lady proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of
the car and got into the drivers seat.

Small problem:  her key wouldn't fit the ignition. Her car was
identical and parked four or five spaces further down. She
reloaded her bags into her car and drove to the police station.
The sergeant that she told the story to nearly tore himself in
two with laughter and pointed to the other end of the counter
where 4 pale white males were reporting a car jacking by a mad
elderly white woman...no charges were filed.
