Everything I know about self-defense, I learned from Monty Python

From our icicle neighbors up north, there is this breaking news; Mississauga cashier stops robbery by striking suspect with banana by Chris Herhalt.

A convenience store cashier in Mississauga foiled an attempted robbery Saturday night by striking the suspect with a banana, Peel Regional Police say.

Const. Akhil Mooken says officers were called to a shop at Hurontario and John streets on Saturday night for an attempted robbery.

Police said the cashier at the store told them that a suspect entered the store and approached the cash register.

The employee then grabbed one of several bananas on display nearby and struck the suspect with it.

The suspect then fled the scene on foot.

Unlike the current snowflake generation, I learned self-defense on the mean screen of Monty Python.
