When I moved out my folks house, first week in, a guy was trying to get in the apartment through the skylight, I thought “Great!
Now it will leak all winter!”. So i got dressed hung my sword from my
belt loop & climbed the ladder to the roof. I spied him hunched over
the skylight, tapped him the shoulder w/ Japanese Army
Saber & told him to freeze. He screams rolls over & falls off
the roof (3 stories). He fell on a pile of dead Christmas trees, got up
hobbled away, got into a whipped Plymouth w/ a missing headlight & roared
away.
Last Christmas, someone told me this story at a party.
And they did not change the story.
