Wow. Just wow.
From the Associated Press - A man who walked into a Michigan diner with a 5-inch knife stuck in his chest ordered a coffee and complained only about the cold weather.The 52-year-old man, who has not been identified, called a 911 operator in Warren on Sunday night to ask that an ambulance be sent to Bray’s, an eatery in neighboring Hazel Park.
He said he had been stabbed during an attempted robbery half a mile away, then walked to the restaurant and called 911 from a pay phone.
On a recording of the call, the man gives a vague description of his attacker before saying, “I’m gonna sit down at Bray’s ’cause they got a chair and it’s cold out here.”
Restaurant employee George Mirdita tells The Detroit News the man calmly ordered coffee.
Police said Tuesday that the man is recovering.

Hmmmm….calmly ordering a cup of hot java in a warm cafe with a knife sticking out of my chest cavity…OR…falling to the ground in the snow and dying of either the stab wound or hypothermia???
I think I would’ve went with option A…although, I’d have also probably asked the waitress what the special was while I waited on the paramedics.

I’ve heard stories like this before. Well, not EXACTLY like this. Ordering the coffee is kinda weird. But I’ve heard about people remaining calm even though they have sharp objects sticking into them. At least he was smart enough to not pull it out (I assume) while he was waiting for the paramedics.

I had no idea Chuck Norris was in Michigan.
