| OK, so I totally stole this from Dave Barnes' myspace blog...but it was so funny!! I really laughed...like OUT loud! so I am sharing the joy of my week with y'all cause I think you are great!
"Yes. This is true. Before commenting - please read true comments taken today from a South Carolina newspaper -
Charleston police officers investigating an indecent-exposure complaint wound up battling a James Island man armed with nunchucks and covered in grease in his apartment, a report states.
When coming to deal with the man - Smith answered (the door) reluctantly, wearing athletic shorts and shoes with oil covering his bare torso and a pair of wooden nunchucks in his left hand. The officers ordered him to drop the weapon, but he refused. When Thayer attempted to grab his arm, Smith began hitting Hildebidle with the nunchucks. They had a hard time controlling him because of the oil.
Okay. First things first.
I am jealous of this man. I mean, C'MON!! What guy hasn't DREAMED of this!?!?!?!? Covered in grease battling police officers with nunchucks?!?!?! BRING IT ON COPPER! Then, to top it off - "They had a hard time controlling him because of the oil" OF COURSE they did! Brilliant move, Smith. BRILLIANT.
This is TRULY the stuff of legends. He's sitting in his apartment, waiting. Waiting. They open the door to find a man standing in atheletic shoes and shorts, covered head to toe in grease, swinging nunchucks somewhat awkwardly, but intimidatingly, at the cops. Through a scowl, he mouths - "Bring it on, pigs. It's time to roll."
Then begins the melee of awkward grips, slipping fingers, nunchucks not only hitting the desired foes, but also the head of the greased ninja.
All the money in the world for that scene. All of it. Even the change in my spider man mini lunch pail. Even that $1.85.
Let me say this - I love police officers and the profession - all except those 2 that have pulled me over for....stuff. I in no way condone the fighting of police officers, except for dirty cops. That's okay. The cops that were in the fight were fine - one had a few hits to the face, the other only tarnished by the oil stains on his uni.
Everyone involved got out okay, but i know i'll never be the same."
