Too funny …

Would-be burglar Pal Nagy, 43, got quite a shock when he crawled through a window in suburban Budapest, Hungary. Not only did he encounter Virgine Ujlaky, 23, but he caught her in the middle of practice.

She’s an Olympic fencer.

“Within seconds and a few swift slashes of the sword,” Ananova.com reported, “the crook was pinned against the wall, with the blade against his throat as the swordswoman reached for the phone and called police.”

The arrested perp had to be treated for shock, but no such problems for Ujlaky.

“I wasn’t scared when I saw him,” she said. “It was good practice, as I have a competition coming up this week.”

I love this story - something about the swashbuckling grace of a fencer making a criminal soil their shorts puts an impossibly large grin on my face. It would only be better if she gave him two cuts - one on each cheek - Inigo Montoya style.
