As if you weren't an accessory to the crime

Is that like handbags, gloves and stuff?

AtW,

When you see a burglar in your home on Thursday night, please check whether he has a big red sack.

If so, please do NOT shoot him.

Otherwise lots of little children will be very sad on Friday.

Ta.

Only rob him then? Let's hope he ain't armed to effectively self defend himself then

I should have thought a spot of fisting would not be high on her list of expected activities.

What do you do if you catch a gorgeous bust blond chick robbing your house? You couldn't really use your fists on her could you?

This is a serious question by the way (Churchill)

You present some garbage probabilities and pass them as some kind of proof. Most of the time the burglar will be keen to avoid meeting the householder for a start. Chances are that the mates of anyone you did manage to kill would extract justice on you pretty quickly anyway.

I think that in the case where this thread started they did want to meet the householders...

Anyone seen the comedy 'Otis'?

Another advantage of short swords, and only stabbing 3 inches, is that the sword is easier to pull out of the victim when their muscles clamp round it.

.. combatants being equal, who would win ?? jeez, what a question. I guess you would have to go back to the Roman arena to answer that one. They did ocasionally match greek clubmen(hercules) against thracian knifemen. I dont recall how that turned out

I keep a big trident and a weighted net by the bed - Any burglars will be trussed up like turkeys and pronged before they know what hit them.

Have a hockey stick under the bed and anyone who wants to try and get into the house at night will be brain dead before they leave the building.

I hate to draw a parallel between hockey sticks and the brain dead. but.............

That's not humane.
