Got a Light?

A 42-year-old man was smoking on his porch in Trenton, N.J., when a man came up and asked for a light. A fight ensued when the request was refused, but the visitor eventually ran off, and the man went to bed. The next morning, he woke up with a pain in his back, but it wasn’t until his brother checked that he realized why. “His brother said he had a knife blade protruding from his back,” police Lt. Mark Kieffer said. Police were called around noon and confirmed that a five-inch blade was sticking out of the man’s back. He was hospitalized. Police, however, did not have a description of the assailant as the victim was “very uncooperative,” according to Kieffer. (MS/Trenton Times) ...There’s a really good chance he’s closely related to Chuck Norris.
