Power of the Pen vs The Sword

If the pen is mightier than the sword, why do actions speak louder than words?

Pretoria - A house robber is in hospital after he was slashed with a sword in Bassonia, Johannesburg, on Friday. The man was part of a gang of three who tried breaking into a house in the early hours of Friday morning. "The house owner heard them and woke up. When he went to investigate, he saw three men in the house. They tried to attack him and he reached for a display sword and defended himself,"rolling on the floor laughing

Hello Luke, nice to you and your beautiful lady here.

Well all I can say, is sometimes the need dictates which is more powerful. In your robbing case, the sword came in handy.

Anyways, on the mighty pen, oh yes it works better when we are just babbling about these events.

Have a nice day Luke..wave wave

Hi Sands,
Talking about Cat, I wish the guy would return and entertain us with a few of his very interesting blogs once more.
Re: Clever.
It so happened that I was skyping with Kitty just before she decided to leave Johannesburg and move to Port Elizabeth, that she heard a 'bang/snap' in the far end of her house, went down the passage to investigate and met mr. burglar halfway down the passage. Could you imagine how I felt hearing the screams for help and not physically being able to help.... uh oh
Hi LJ, nice to see you, and Kitty sez thanks too. Agreed about the sword, but much more perspiration and skill needed to to explain just how it came about that I chopped the poor thief in half in my police reportmoping rolling on the floor laughing

Ah, it's been decades and decades since I have seen one of those pen guns. I guess they are still around, but I never saw the purpose of them. Beyond 4 feet, it is a miss. Then what?

There is a Baltimore college student a year or so ago who encountered a burglar coming into his house from the garage. The burglar attacked and the young man defended himself with a samurai sword. Burglars arm was severed and a mess made of the house floor.

City Police were not terribly amused by any of it, but it was ruled justifiable self defense.
