Was it a stick up or a hold up?

LAKE WORTH, Fla. (Sept. 20) - Authorities said a naked 91-year-old man was able to hold a drunken intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Robert E. Thompson jumped out of bed early Saturday when his dog starting growling and attacking the intruder. He said he got his revolver and went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders.

Thompson, a World War II veteran, said he didn't even notice he was standing outside in the dark without any clothes on.

Authorities arrived to find a drunk intruder being held outside by a naked homeowner.
The 26-year-old intruder was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge.

You've got to love when old people do cute things like defend themselves. Also, what is it with old people and their obliviousness to nudity. Its like when you visit old people in the hospital or the home. They never know they're hanging out of their gowns. Or else they just want to make people uncomfortable. Maybe thats the joy of being old. That might be why old men insist on standing next to you at the urinal when there are several others available nearby. Just to be creepy.
