Really?A Machete?

Looks like at least one landlord in Reading could use some pointers from the good guys on why it’s always a bad idea to resort to self help:

The Associated Press recently reported on an owner of a rooming house in Reading who has been accused of attacking a tenant with a machete.  The tenant was three weeks behind on his rent and the landlord was executing his own personal (very personal) evictions proceeding. 

It’s gratifying to know all responsible landlords, even those who have not graduated from our education classes, would recognize this as the supreme story of definitely what not to do!

But it does remind us of a scene from the Adams Family movie, a sardonic spoof on the macabre side of life:

 Morticia stops her precocious son as he passes through the kitchen with a paring knife.

“Pugsley!” She challenges him, accusingly, “Is that for your sister!?”

“Yes,” Puglsey answers, his head bowed in shame, realizing his evil intentions are all too transparent.

Morticia casts her son a disapproving look, as she takes the paring knife from his hands.

She replaces it with a much larger carving knife, and sends him on his way. 

 

 It’s August. Chill, and have a great weekend.
