Frying Pan-Fu: Burglar gets hit 'upside the head’ by Korean war vet

[Bill Mattocks]

I just loved this one. That's how we do it.


"I grabbed the frying pan and hit him upside the head. I knocked his teeth out ... and he went to the floor," Smith said. "There was a pitchfork about six feet away. ... I stuck him."...


Hit in the head and stuck in the side, the intruder ran, "bleeding on the way out." He left his white baseball cap behind.

"I won the fight, which don't impress nobody... I'm a 3 year veteran of Korea, which don't impress nobody"

Well, I for one, am impressed.

Bill, I don`t know how you always manage to find these stories, but I`m so glad you do. Makes my day every time I hear about one of these. Thanks again!

well lets see, frying pan to get his attention, and the point of his argument to convince him to leave... sounds like a winning combo to me!!! I like it!

besides a pitch fork .. hmm does that mean he told him to fork off??
