WORZALA'S WEDNESDAY WORD 2-28
Today's word is "ego" as in "This will certainly check your ego."
Three Scottish teenagers, just hanging around, doing the Scottish teenage thing, saw a man leaving a pub. They decided that it would be a good idea to rob him. What a great idea, three on one, the guy's coming out of a pub at night, easy pickings, right?
So the trio pushed the man against the wall and demanded his money.
Ego Check Number 1:
The man, in his own words, "went mad.... I stood up and was kicking them all."
That's right, three on one, and the one is mopping the floor with you.
Ego Check Number 2:
"I pushed one and kung-fu kicked the other between the legs."
Now not only is your victim mopping the floor with you, but he's also just kicked one of you right in the old Jack o' Lanterns.
Ego Check Number 3:
The three teens fled the scene, leaving the man and his money behind.
So, just to review, three strapping teenagers attempt to attack a lone man, leaving a pub. He not only fights back, he keeps the money and "kung-fu" kicks one of them in the crotch. How could things get more embarrassing for these three young men?
Ego Check Number 4:
The man in question is 100 years old.

You're right... I don't see how this could be more embarrassing. Unless they mugged a 100 year old woman... who's quadriplegic... Although unlikely, that'd be pretty embarrassing - especially if she somehow managed to pull off a kung-fu kick.

I thought another funny aspect to the story:
"But his boss at Pimlico Plumbers, Charlie Mullins, said Buster still turned up for work the next day."
