Sugar, No; Cream, Definitely

A resident of South Strabane Township, Pa., heard a noise in an upstairs bedroom after he got up, so he went to investigate. He found a burglar in the bedroom who, upon being discovered, pulled a knife. The unnamed homeowner was holding a cup of coffee, and smashed the burglar in the face with the cup. “He really split him open,” said Township police detective John Bruner. “There was a lot of blood.” The burglar fled, and was driven away by an accomplice. Police are looking for a 30ish-year-old man with a “gash on his forehead.” (RC/Washington Observer-Reporter) ...Never interrupt a man having his first cup of coffee.
