One You Won't See on the News

A part of my day, is tracking down the biggest and best stories for you to see at 10. (I know it's a lot of power...somewhere someone just shuddered.) In my search I often sort through many stories that don't pan out, many that have no real value, and some that are funny but have no "news-time" meaning. So, you get to read it here, instead.

I was scanning through the police reports, when I came across this one that made me chuckle:
A man was claiming he was attacked by a known man who came at him with a sword!

Now here's why it didn't make the news: he wasn't injured and the sword was dull.

But I find it somewhat odd, that someone pulled a sword! I didn't realize we traveled back to the Medieval Times (era or restaurant)! I mean honestly, who pulls a sword ?

Now, before, I get labeled a cynic with no heart, I am glad no one was severely hurt. I always am. But I couldn't help but chuckle that in those moments their disagreement rose to a point that one of the mean decided, "I'm so upset, I'm going to get him good! I'll use my sword!"

Or was it more like, a light-saber and he was using "The Force."

Still, I couldn't stifle the thought of Harrison Ford, in "Indiana Jones: and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" (this has been changed, thanks to a heads up by "John," thanks John, my fault) where the swordsmen steps into the dusty street, swinging and swiping his sword in a move to challenge Indy. Unimpressed, Indy draws his pistol and fires a shot, ending the fight.

I guess, we all should be glad, this sword fight didn't end like that one!
