A 92-year-old Washington state man who used his false teeth to chew through the duct tape with which he was tied up received an award from a third grade class.
The class at Berclair Elementary in Memphis picked Lester Matteson of Shoreline, Wash., to receive the 2011 hero medal after he used his dentures to chew through the duct tape thieves had used to tie him to a kitchen chair in December, KOMO-TV, Seattle, reported Thursday.
I don't have any snarky comments. I'd have been much happier to read that the old guy owned a gun and blew the thieves away, but you can't have everything in this life. I'm glad he lived and showed resolve in a bad situation, and had the tools to deal with it.
