This one time at band camp!
I saw this earlier today and just couldn't stop laughing.

QUARTZ HILL, Calif. (AP) - Don't mess with the marching band. That's what California authorities are saying after a 17-year-old girl used her marching band baton to beat back two would-be muggers. Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Michael Rust says the Quartz Hill girl was walking to school April 24 when two men approached her from behind, tried to grab her coat and demanded money. Instead, one got a punch in the nose and the other a kick to the groin. Rust says the girl then beat both of them with her band baton before she ran away.
The men had not been caught. But Rust says there's a clear message to take from the encounter: "The moral to this story is don't mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve. Final score: marching band 2, thugs 0." |
All I can add to that is it's a bummer that they're not dead. On the upside, one might well be removed from the gene pool… Well at least one can only hope. For those who don't know, I married a band geek.
