Dumb As A Box Of Claw Hammers...



Was never more apropos...

"A guy sneaking around a south Harris County bar last night made a fatal mistake when he pretended to pull a gun on a pistol-totin' Texan: The guy ended up being shot to death in what police believe was a case of self-defense.

It happened about 9 p.m. at P&C Place in the 14600 block of Almeda, where Harris County officials report the dead man was seen sneaking around the bar last night and peeking through a back entrance at one point. It was enough to make one P&C regular decide to go out to his truck, where he kept his pistol, to keep an eye on the guy. The guy then approached the regular and pointed what appeared to be a gun at him, demanding money; the regular pulled his pistol and shot the guy. But it wasn't a gun at all: "It appears that it was a tool wrapped up in a towel," Harris County Sheriff's Sgt. Bryan Pair told KTRK.

The shooter reportedly hung around to answer questions; he was taken to the sheriff's office for an interview."

"...sweet geez, Louie, look out, he's got a Craftsman!"
