Woman Stabs Man after He Flashes Her

Judging from the picture, you have to assume she was an (unfortuntately, HARD)target of opportunity, rather than the epitome of an obsessive fantasy....

#11  That is a great story!

Truly, Skidmark. Aunt Beadie died almost three decades ago, leaving us with a few homemade Christmas decorations and the memory of being helpless with laughter when she told that tale to my darling, ladylike mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and me as we sat around her kitchen table.

#8  Now that I am actually awake, the following true story comes to mind, as told by Mr. Wife’s elderly Aunt Beadie about her best friend. Aunt Beadie was not really related to the family, but lived next door; she shared the copious fruits of her baking, and Mr. Wife’s father mowed her lawn with as much care as he mowed his own.

At any rate, Aunt Beadie’s friend worked for a 7-Eleven as a cashier ringing up snacks and gasoline to supplement her Social Security check, not having been married to a provident union agitator like Aunt Beadie’s husband had been, and in fact never having been married at all.

One evening, while she was working alone, a gentleman dressed in a stylish raincoat came in to get some snacks. She quietly admired the raincoat, it being very much a baseball jacket kind of neighbourhood where the gentlemen’s ideas of stylishness had always run in a very different direction. Up the stylish gentleman came to the counter behind which she stood next to her cash register, laying down in turn a can of corn and his instrument of delight. The poor dear, utterly flustered by the new experience, picked up the can and smashed it down on the unexpected thing, with exactly the result that can be imagined. The stylish gentleman, naturally, fainted dead away.

He came to just as the friendly policeman was putting him in handcuffs. “Next time, son,” quoth Officer Friendly, ”be smart and buy a loaf of bread.”

Our current miscreant got off easy, though it took his target a little longer to complete her response.

#7  Benny Hill on older women: "They don't yell, they don't tell and they're grateful as hell."

This particular case excluded...

#6  And there, BP, you have the age-old dichotomy between law and justice.

#5  I'm pretty sure both should go to a jury trial.

The flasher obviously if proven.

The woman wasn't acting in self defense.

Two thoughts occur:

1) Odd that the Saramento Bee posted her photo, but not his, and

2) Benjamin Franklin had things to say about older women, though clearly our miscreant misjudged the level of gratitude available in this case.

#1  A bus stop. A lady. A dasher.
She's holding an old fashioned slasher.
I keep her in view
As we two form a queue
And am not a bit tempted to flash her.

Of course, that was back when a gal could walk the street with an open straight razor from one end of the Empire to the other without a buncha g.dd.mn busybodies whipping out their cellphones... seems like yesterday but it might as well be "Old Creole Days." Sigh.
