We haven’t done this in a while, but finally, we have a person who showed uncommon valor when the war came knocking.
Her name is Phyliss Johnson, 94, of Australia, and was “taking the washing from the line,” which we believe roughly translates to “bringing in the laundry,” when a crazed kangaroo challenged her to a few rounds. Being 94, and probably in the featherweight division, it wasn’t long before Johnson was knocked down. In clear violation of the Queensberry Rules, the kangaroo then pummeled her with kicks.
Eventually, the senior warrior was able to grab a broom and fight back. She landed enough blows to make an escape and get into her house. Then the authorities arrived and dealt the kangaroo some justice–Aussie style. It was euthanized, and, we assume, thrown on the nearest barbie.
