'Kindness' overwhelms Florida intruder

From MSNBC:

After a man wielding a sawed-off shotgun smashed his way into their home Tuesday night, two Carrollwood, Fla., women kept their cool and overpowered the intruder with "kindness."

Cathy Ord, 60, and Rose Bucher, 63, said they offered the man a ham sandwich with pickles, a bottle of rum and a shower, even providing him with a disposable razor to shave off his scruffy beard, the Tampa Tribune reported Thursday.

They also chatted amiably with the man and agreed to call him a cab when he indicated he was ready to leave. But when the sated "guest" fell asleep while awaiting the cab, they called sheriff's deputies, who arrested the man, the newspaper said.

Of course, when this story is made into a movie, the ending will be different: think "Yael."

"...even providing him with a disposable razor to shave off his scruffy beard"

Perhaps Shimshon?

Good point - one of them could play the role of Yael, and the other - Delilah!

Anything to bring back the Tom Jones classic.
