Pistol

She was in bed when she heard the noise.

It sounded like the front door was being forced open. The house had been in complete darkness until a light came on. She lay there thinking. She suspected that the intruder had to be a burglar. Whoever it was, they expected the place to be empty. This would have been the case if she hadn’t decided to cancel her trip away at the last minute. Somehow, the robber must have known about her original intentions. He would also have to have known that her husband was away on business at the same time. She lay thinking about all of this, when she suddenly snapped out of it and made her move.

She quietly got out of bed, slipped on a dressing gown, then went to where she knew her husband kept a gun. Standing across the room from the partly open door, pointing the gun, she waited. When the thief entered the bedroom and switched the light on, the shock of seeing her with the gun pointed directly at him, had him immediately turn and run back through the house.

Racing after him, and shouting a warning that she was within her rights to shoot him, made him run even faster.

Then, out of sheer anger, she aimed carefully and shot him in the leg as he bolted out through the open door. To her amazement, she saw that this only put a wet patch on the burglar’s trouser leg.

This was when she realised, she’d been waving a water pistol around!

Thankfully, the ruffian didn’t notice this.

In his world, a pistol is a pistol, is a pistol.
