Duhhhhh: Senior Moments




so, another late night, another blog post.
I just have to share this with you. I read it today, and it is apparently a real story from somewhere around Jacksonville, Florida.

An elderly lady was walking out of a grocery store when she realized that four men were stealing her car. She dropped her bags, pulled her handgun out of her purse, and shouted, "Get away from the car!"

The men panicked and ran way. The lady gathered her bags, shaken, and sat in the car, trying desperately to get the key in the ignition. After a few minutes of ineffective key-to-iginition interface, the lady lookeda round and saw a 12-pack of beer and a frisbee in the back seat, none of which belonged to her.

She exited the car and found her own vehicle a few spaces down. She shamedly got in and drove to the local police station and admitted her mistake. The officer on duty pointed down the counter, where stood four men complaining about a crazy old lady who had tried to carjack them.

The situation was smoothed over and no charges were filed. The moral to the story: if you're going to have a senior moment, make it memorable.
