Screwed-driver

Remember what Sean Connery said in “The Untouchables”? “Don’t bring a screwdriver to a gun fight and then just claim it’s a gun because you’ll look really lame and stupid.”
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (Indianapolis Star) – William McMiller Jr., 40, was arrested on an initial charge of robbery after he demanded money and threatened to shoot a cashier at the Kentucky Fried Chicken, 2801 W. 16th Street, at about 3:20 p.m. Thursday, according to Indianapolis police reports.McMiller, records show, is being held in the Marion County Jail on $80,000 bond.
McMiller, police said, ordered a bucket of chicken then told cashier Deanne Slaughter: “Give me the money before I shoot you.”
The suspect held his hand in his back pocket as if reaching for a gun, police said, then lifted his foot to jump over the counter.
Paul Sherlock, a customer sitting in the dining room, approached and pointed a Taurus 9-mm handgun towards the suspect’s back.
The suspect raised his hands over his head, police said. Sherlock ordered him to lean against a window with his hands up until police arrived.
Police found a long screwdriver, not a gun, in McMiller’s pocket.
He stuck up a chicken joint with a screwdriver? That doesn’t even look like a gun. He’d be better off holding it up with a chicken drumstick, and I would too, come to think of it.
But kudos to Mr. Sherlock to standing up to the criminal element. I have to say if I were in his shoes, I don’t know if I’d react as bravely as him. The only thing I’d be able to do is wet myself. And if I were able to regain my faculties, maybe I could wet the criminal.
Don’t laugh. It might help. Don’t you watch CSI? Those guys look for urine like propsectors look for gold. They even call it gold.

Urine the right place.

“The only thing I’d be able to do is wet myself.”
After reading some of your ignorant comments about guns, and about the N.R.A., I have to say, I can believe this statement.

Sorry, April, I agree with John.
