To the OP, I'm sure that was an absolutely scary moment. I don't know how I would have reacted. I would say you did well under the circumstances. I truly hope none of us here have to experience something similar.

But now to totally throw this thread off track... Holy Cow, treadlightly, that's some of the funniest stuff I've heard in a while! How did I ever miss hearing about Lenny! I was seriously crying I was laughing so hard! The one you linked was awesome, but I really enjoyed the computer scammer from India (whose name he said was "Jerry Jones" - you can't make this stuff up) where Jerry Jones started off trying to get Lenny to get on his computer so the scammer could lead him to his website or whatever in order to put the scam into motion. Part of that conversation went like this:

Jerry Jones, with his India accent: "Sir, get next to your computer."
Lenny: "Hmm, what's that you say?"
Jerry Jones: "Sir, I said I need you to get next to your computer."
Lenny: "You know, my third eldest, Marissa - she's very smart, you know. First one of our bunch to attend university - she was talking about this very thing to me just last week."
Jerry Jones: "Yes, sir. Now, I need you to get next to your computer."

From that point, I fast forwarded literally TEN MINUTES ahead in the tape and I hear Lenny say:
Lenny: "Hmm, what's that you say?"
Jerry Jones: "Sir, I NEED you to get next to your compu...sir, do you HAVE a computer?"

Man, I nearly fell out of my chair from laughing so hard.

Somebody needs to create a tape of Lenny being held up by a punk with a knife. That would have to be hilarious!
