What kind of self-respecting burglar would attack an old woman with a winged rodent???

The headline is ambiguous as to who has the bat.
Maybe it would be better written as “Grandma beats off burglar.” Or maybe not.

Hehehe...reminds me of

Under Florida law, the perp isn’t a burglar.

I remember a local headline, when I lived in SE New Mexico years ago, that went something like this:

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT GETS SCHOLARSHIP FOR RECORD-SETTING VEGETABLE

I always wondered which one was going to college...

;^)

I knew of a few “record setting vegetables” in high school!
