Have you ever gone shopping and forgotten where you parked? In some of the big supercenters, the parking lots are so huge that it’s hard to find one’s vehicle if you’ve been in the store for an hour or more. Even worse, we see warnings all the time about how vulnerable people are when they’re in the parking lot. After all, if we’ve been shopping, we’re probably pushing a shopping cart and perhaps not paying close attention to our surroundings as we nervously look for our vehicle. Elderly people have especially been warned to be very aware of their surroundings because predators look for people who are vulnerable. For this reason, many older people have taken to carrying handguns. In the joke below, you’ll encounter one nice old lady who knew how to defend herself. Enjoy!
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her lungs,
“I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!”.
The four men didn’t wait for a second threat.
They got out and ran like mad.
The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into the driver’s seat.
She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition.
She tried and tried, and then she realized why.
It was for the same reason she had wondered why there was a football, a Frisbee and two 12-packs of beer in the front seat.
A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down.
She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station to report her mistake.
The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn’t stop laughing.
He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a carjacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun.
No charges were filed.
