Don’t Mess with the Senior Slayer

I’ve fended off a mugger while travelling once, with a little help from the accordion (See the December 31, 1999 section), but I have to salute the 70-year-old tourist who killed a 20-year-old mugger — who had two buddies armed with knives — in Costa Rica with his bare hands with a filet mignon on a flaming sword.

Yes, I think it’s a shame that the mugger died, but the old guy was well within his rights to defend himself. If I ever end up in a similar fix, I hope I have the wit, wherewithal and the courage that he did. At the very least, I’d like to be in his shape at 70.
