You Don't Mess With The Old Farts...

LAKE WORTH, Fla. — Authorities say a 91-year-old man in South Florida jumped out out of bed naked and held an intruder breaking into his house at gunpoint until deputies arrived.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Robert E. Thompson was awoken Saturday morning after a burglar climbed his backyard fence and was met by his charging dog, Rettt, a Rottweiler and Doberman Pinscher mix. Thompson heard the commotion, grabbed his .38-caliber revolver and phoned police without ever getting dressed.

Deputies say Thompson fired a warning shot at 26-year-old Jose Pasqual after the intruder started to come toward him. Pasqual was booked in the Palm Beach County Jail and did not immediately have an attorney.

I can just hear the dialog:

OF: "Hold it right there!"

JP: "Esay, Mon! Call off you MF dog!"

OF: "Esay your behind! Get your moldy butt down on the ground, or I'll let Rett chew on you after I shoot your buttocks!"

JP: "OK, Mon, OK! I be down on the groun'!"

OF: "Good! I'm old, and cranky, and tired, and I am the one with the gun and a dog with a bad attitude."

JP: "Mon, dat dog, he look MEAN!"

OF: "Yah. But he mind ME, not you. And he's hungry, so don't you wiggle, don't you move... or I'll shoot YOU and let HIM have a little snack..."
