A Good Wine Saves the Day

In this totally bizarre story, an attempted armed robbery was foiled when the victims invited the would-be robber to have some wine.

After the robber walked into a house in DC and pointed a gun at a 14-year-old girl’s head, the dinner guests reportedly offered him a glass of Chateau Malescot St-Exupery. The robber consented and said, “Damn, that’s good wine.” He then had more wine, ate a little Camembert cheese, and put away the gun. Then, he asked for a hug and left.

Note to self: buy a bottle of life-saving Chateau Malescot St-Exupery, any vintage.

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.
