Airhead Sighting:

In karate class one day, our sensei came in and told us a story that happened to a friend of his the night before: Our instructor's friend was locking up his martial arts studio, still wearing his gui and his black belt, when someone came up to him with a knife and said, "Give me all your money!" Needless to say, the mugger was in the police ward of the hospital rather shortly afterward.

~~~ Hong Kong Phooey! ~~~
