I came home one day to find some guy picking up a package from my front
porch and heading down the stairs.
ME: Hey, what are you doing there?
GUY: Just grabbing my package. What's it to you? I live here.
ME: Really? That's weird.
GUY: (nervous) Why?
ME: Because I've lived here for five years and never knew I had a
roommate. You must be really quiet around the house.
GUY: Um... uh...
ME: (draws gun, shows badge) Put the package down and keep your hands
where I can see them. You're under arrest.
GUY: Aw, fuck...
ME: Yep. You really drew the karma short straw today.
... and here is where FPP claims he'd do the same thing.
Oh wait, he doesn't own any guns.
