Elderly Florida man used frying pan to fend off robber
The dude robbing him had a gun, so this is a doubly ballsy move. Once again, it illustrates that a wolf with an inferior weapon will triumph over a sheep with a superior weapon. That and old vets will whoop your butt something fierce if you mess with them...SPRINGFIELD, Fla. -- A Springfield, Florida man says a 31-cent frying pan he's had for decades was a worthwhile investment.
He smacked a robber with it over the weekend. Bobby Smith, 81, said he fended off a gun-toting robber in his kitchen Saturday.
My favorite part of the article is here:
Right now, police don't have too much to work with.Um, HELLO? Look for the guy with skillet burns on his melon and pitchfork tine holes through his torso, that'd be a good place to start...The description of the robber is too vague.
That is all.

My Poppop (now 87) once fought off home invaders while armed with nothing more than a wooden bat in one hand and an Iron skillet in the other.
I instantly thought of him when I read this story.
Beware of tough old men, especially diminuitive looking ones who happen to be WWII vets.
RE Old Vets: Heh, heh, heh.

Being the eternal gamer geek that I am, this reminded of a cutscene from Conker's Bad Fur Day. (I'm a sucker for Rare Ltd. work with Nintendo...sorry, getting off track.)

After reading Mike W's comment, I laughed even harder because I had just watched this clip as well.
