Default O/T: Old Farts Part II

(This is supposedly a true account recorded in the Police Log of
Sarasota Florida)

An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car,
fuond four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.

She dropped her shoppingbags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream
at the top of her lung, “I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get
out of the car!”

The four men didn’t wait for asecond threat. They got out and ran like
mad.

The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags int
the back of the car and got into the driver’s seat. She was so shaken
that she could not get her key into the ignition.

She tried and tried, and then she realized why. It ws for the same
reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two
12-packs of beer in the front seat.

A few minutes later, she found her won car parked four or five spaces
further down.

She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the nearest police station
to report her mistake.

The sergeant to who she told the story couldn’t stop laughing.

He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were
reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less
than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large
handgun.

No charges were filed.

Moral of the story?

If you’re going to have a senior moment . . . Make it memorable.
