This one sounds like a corny action movie plot, but it's true and it's funny, jack. Miss America 1944, 82-year-old Venus Ramey, confronted a burglar on her farm in south-central Kentucky. He said he was leaving, but she had other ideas. She then balanced herself on her walker, pulled out a snub-nosed .38 and blew the tires out of his car. Bet that wasn't in the talent portion of the Miss America pageant. It's a good thing she wasn't in a wheelchair, or the guy might be dead.

This dollface had a challenge and a half on her hands that day, but she didn't back down. So don't give me any lip about how you knock down 60 thousand a year and can't get out of debt. It's a challenge, so face it head on and blow it away. Learn how to make a budget and start listening to The Dave Ramsey Show. Don't be embarrassed about trying to get out of debt, either; save that for the guy who has to explain to his cellmate that he was stopped by an 82-year-old lady ... ON A WALKER!
