Japanese woman lulls attacker with cup of tea
A 30-year-old housewife in Tokyo calmed a knife-wielding assailant by offering him a cup of tea, according to the ever-reliable Fox News.
The woman told her assailant that she had no money but he followed her and forced his way into her apartment, police said.
But rather than screaming, the woman served the man a cup of tea in hopes of calming him down.
Police said her move seemed to work.
The man put his knife away and began telling the woman about his financial hardship and asked her to lend him 10,000 yen ($94), police said.
Police said the woman put a 10,000 yen ($94) bill and a wallet containing about 30,000 yen ($280) on the table. When the man was looking the other way, she grabbed her daughter and ran out the door to call police from a nearby public phone.
Nicely done! I think I would have offered him the sharp end of the katana sitting on my fireplace mantle - which would have undoubtedly resulted in me receiving many stab wounds as I have no idea how to actually wield the damn thing. (But it does look nice on my mantle).
