OK; so how did that woman clock that man at the traffic signal? Glad you enjoyed my story.


Many years ago (about forty five) I worked in NJ as a carpenter for a health spa chain. Two of the masseuses and I went over to Times Square for the evening. We were just walking down the sidewalk, I had an arm around each of them. Two men, holding each others hands, approached us from the opposite direction and one spit at us and missed. Without a blink of the eye; the one young woman hit the one with her purse and knocked him unconscious. I later found out that she always kept four or five rolls of quarters in her purse!

That's funny fisheye, reminds of the time I saw this couple fighting. The woman had one of those key chains that was similar to a phone cord. She swung it at him in arc and the thing extended out a few feet. Didn't knock him out but he probably would have been better off because it looked like it cut half his dam ear near off. I kow he was bleeding heavily.

When I was younger I was hanging out in my father's house in Jessup. All of a sudden I see lots of flashing lights and go to the door and see what's wrong. Turns out there is a man up in his bedroom who went crazy and was holding his family hostage and firing at cops (I think). I'm pretty sure he took some Jessup offficers hostage when they went into the house before SWAT arrived, but I forget the whole story. I don't think anyone was injured, it's been a while though since this happened and I naturally didn't leave the house since this happened a few houses away up the block.
