Call in the Cavalry


Let's pretend, shall we?


You're in your apartment, enjoying an evening in, when the noise from the adjacent apartment becomes too audacious to ignore any longer. In fact, audacious may be too soft a word to describe what you believe you are hearing, because it sounds as though someone is being -ahem- raped by your neighbor.


Being the defender of persons defenseless that you have always deemed yourself, you do what anyone in your position with your upbringing and access to weaponry would: you reach for your cavalry sword, head next door, and chop the door down. Heroism, right? Wrong...




Instead you've interrupted someone who, like yourself, was only endeavoring to enjoy a quiet evening alone, albeit in a somewhat dissimilar fashion. And, you now are likely looking at some criminal charges.


"Now I feel stupid," explains our hero.

What does being raped sound like? That's what I want to know. How did he know it was "rape"?

On the other hand, if he'd taken a normal weapon like a gun or baseball bat, I'd probably think he was acting heroic. But since he took a sword...nope. All I can think of now is a guy who likes reenacting Civil War battles and makes his own clothes...

This had to happen in Wisconsin. Sigh.
