video store robbery 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Taken from the July FHM Magazine True Stories:
Two years ago I was working at a local video store when a guy in a Philadelphia Eagles jacket and a ski mask came in. He walked up to my register, pulled out a six-inch knife, and demanded the money.
Thinking fast, I told him the register would open only if we had a membership card to scan -- a total lie. Even so, the idiot reached for his wallet and took out his card. I scanned it, handed him the money and watched smugly as he took off.
After calling the cops and assuring the customers that I was fine, a guy walked in wearing the same Eagles jacket. Then he asked if he could use my phone because his car wouldn't start.
After hearing his voice, the customer standing next to him knocked him out cold. The cops came and rushed the guy to the hospital, and we soon learned that we had the right man.
We also learned that when the customer knocked him out, the robber collapsed onto the knife in his pocket, puncturing his left nut. If that's not justice, I don't know what is.
