Fine wine stops ccrime

WASHINGTON – Police are baffled by an attempted robbery that began with a handgun put to the head of a 14-year-old girl and ended in a group hug.

A group of friends was finishing dinner when a hooded man slid through an open gate.

"Give me your money or I'll start shooting," he demanded.

"We were just finishing dinner," Cristina Rowan told the man. "Why don't you have a glass of wine with us."

The intruder had a sip of their Château Malescot St-Exupéry and said, "Damn, that's good wine.'' He took another sip and a bite of Camembert cheese, apologized and put the gun in his sweatpants.

"I think I may have come to the wrong house," he said. "Can I get a hug?''

Rowan stood up and wrapped her arms around him and the other guests followed.

The man walked away with the crystal wine glass in his hand. No one was hurt.

I think I would be robbed if I offered him a Natural Light.

Hopefully that'd never happen , but if it did , I hope it's in the morning, so you'll have no Natural light to offer :)
