LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Authorities said a naked 91-year-old man was able to hold a drunken intruder at gunpoint until deputies arrived. Robert E. Thompson jumped out of bed early Saturday when his dog starting growling and attacking the intruder. He said he got his revolver and went out back to let the guy know how he felt about home invaders.

Thompson, a World War II veteran, said he didn't even notice he was standing outside in the dark without any clothes on.

Authorities arrived to find a drunk intruder being held outside by a naked homeowner.

The 26-year-old intruder was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on a burglary charge.

I'd hate to see how it might have turned out if the man wasn't naked, or the intruder wasn't drunk.

It would be much less hilarious, that's for sure.

I guess if I was a burglar, and a naked 80+ vet with a gun faced off with me, I'd be stunned, too! I don't even want to think about all that white, wrinkled, pasty flesh........

Reminds me of a standup act I saw Brian Poshen do, he said that to scare intruders he slept in the nude with a baby mask and a katana.

Dude.. You owe me a new keyboard.

Kudos to the good guy in this one. Too many elderly people get taken advantage of. Hats off to you.
