So he drilled the intruder. Apparently guns weren’t band there. If this is trumpeted enough he might drum major support up for his conduct among the voter bass.

Ho, ho, ho. Number 5 gets it.

It's a cunning, running, funny set of serial puns.

And that's a double en-tenor, I mean en-tympani. Whoops, make that entendre.

If I say I love my brother and have not love, I am sounding brass or tinkling cymbal....Sounds like a good use of brass.

Priceless comments and an awesome case history of armed citizens being able to be their own first responder. When seconds count, cops are only minutes away.

BELLEVUE, Wash. – A man in Washington state made sure a pair of burglars didn't get away with his three flat-screen televisions — he moved their getaway car.

Patrick Rosario was in the basement of his Bellevue home on Tuesday when he heard the burglars upstairs.

The Seattle Times says the 32-year-old Rosario, who had been laid off from his job as a Washington Mutual manager, called 911 while he sneaked out of the house.

He saw a white van sitting in front of his house with the motor running and the keys in the ignition, and he got in and drove it to a friend's house.

Police say the burglars left the televisions, a laptop computer and a jewelry box by the door and took off on foot.

The sheriff's office said no arrests had been made.

“Heath Miller, 34, of Wellington leveled a .38-caliber pistol and shot the robber in the duplex...”

That’s a lot more deadly than being hit behind the davenport.

Sounds like the intruder got a little more treble than he could handle.

Yep, another bad guy rides the Valkyries to his doom! And now because he was played flat (i.e., not very sharp) he will be given a final score by The Great Composer in the Sky.




I wonder if he repented as he died. By grace saved, even as through fire. Hmmm.
