Urban myths

[Bill Douglas]

There is a little old lady in Florida who carrys a .38 in her handbag. One day she was coming out of the supermarket and was about ready to load her bags into her car when she found four guys in it, and obviously trying to steal it, so she whiped out the .38 and said "Get out or I'll blow your heads off!" The guys go out and ran for their lives as you would expect. Well the old lady got in the car and found her keys didn't fit, then realised it was actually the wrong car and probably belonged to the guys she had just chased off. She thought she better report the situation so she drove down to the local Police station and reported it to the amazed officer who had just taken a report of an attempted car thieft, by a grey haired little old lady armed with a handgun, from four very frazzled looking guys.

Actually we have had 2 recent and separate news stories of "elderly ladys" with guns. Both of the lady's ended-up shooting people too so your myth is not too far from the truth.

Have another one??

Wow! Here we "only" have problems with confused older drivers going against traffic on motorways.

Yeah we have that too....in additional to certain folks going the same speed limit whether they are on the city street or the freeway. Which is too fast for the city street & too slow for the freeway...and stop signs?? what are those??...Just tap the brake & go....One of my mom's friends in her 70's drives like that and it terrifys her...thus my mom always says..."I'll drive."
