Mugging in Montreal
A 2p2'er recently gotted mugged at knife point in Australia. While this really sucks and I feel terrible for JP OSU, it reminded me of this rather funny story. You can click on that link to read all about the mugging in Aussie if you would like.
One night in Montreal I was walking with two friends when a bearded man in sloppy clothes approached us and stuck something into my friend's back and said "You know the drill!" This was one of those defining flight or flight moments that we all inevitably face in our lives, a true test of what you are made of. Like a bolt of lightning I began to take off heading for the nearest bar I could get into, leaving my apparently slow friends to fend for themselves. It was only when I was about into the door of a nearby bar I heard my friend exclaim, "Hey!" It wasn't a blood curdling type scream but more of an incredulous, bewildered one. I returned to the scene of the crime to find that the homeless man was not wielding a knife, gun or any other weapon of any consequence but rather a rotten banana. Upon being called out on his less then lethal weapon he screamed, "Please I swear it's for alcohol!" Thats how you almost get mugged in style.
