Why I love Texas
Paula Ollie, a 27-year-old resident of a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, heard someone trying to break into her house the other night. Her response was both inventive and very direct (emphasis mine):
The 27-year-old mother collected several pool balls and placed them in her son’s bicycle helmet.
“The pool balls just looked like the most aerodynamic, heaviest things I could get a hold of right then,” she said.
Ollie went out through the back door and climbed a tree to get to her roof – all while clenching the bike helmet’s strap in her teeth. Once on the roof, she unleashed her unconventional defense.
“I hollered out ‘Death from above!’ I’m not kidding. And no sooner than I said that, I started chucking pool balls at them.“
