Tampa, Florida Rafaela Mendz was arrested after TIA [Tampa International Airport] police found a blackjack in her carry-on bag.

An airport spokeswoman tells us that when police asked her what she was doing carrying the bat-like, leather covered stick through the passenger screening area, she told them it was “to smack men’s hands when they got fresh.”

Har! I don’t think she has anything to worry about.

Thanks MJ Hopper.

    What?! No complimentary tasering?

  2. hhopper says:

    The cops would have tasered her but they were afraid she’d smack their hands.

    Jeez… By the looks of the photo they beat her with the ugly stick.

    Other than being a reason to show a picture of a very ugly old woman what makes this news? She got caught breaking the FLORIDA law and was arrested by FLORIDA police.

    lol A blackjack? Wow.. By the looks of her I figured her for more the brass knuckles type.

  5. edwinrogers says:

    They’re not called blackjacks here, “silent husband” is the preferred nomenclature.

  6. BubbaRay says:

    In TX, used to be that was considered “old fashioned.” Women carry Derringers.

    But then, she does look sorta old fashioned.

    She probably took the blackjack from the last guy who “hit on her”

    Don’t forget she’s 71. To have most of your teeth and hair at that point (not to mention the moxie to mouth off at cops in an environment where only the stupid and/or bold dare) is no small accomplishment. I’d consider it luck to make it to that age.

    I suspect she wasn’t too bad looking in her youth — the bone structure of her face is nice.

    Let that be a lesson to you young bucks: a woman’s character — not just her genetics — sustains beauty in the long run.

    Greg, I got a snake here I’d be willing to hold for you… 🙂

    I’d hit it!

  12. GigG says:

    #11 Yes it is. So effective that most if not all US police departments have banned them for carry by officers.

    #12 Yeah, you probably would.

    Am I the only one who thought that pic was of Hillary before reading the article?

    I wonder what her lawyer said.

  15. edwinrogers says:

    #14. Yes.

    “71-year-old” my hairy yellow ass.

    In the year 2018, some joker who has invented / will invent a time machine has tested / will test it by sending back to our time a mug shot of Lindsay Lohan.

    Whoa! You have a hairy Yellow Ass?

    Gross!

    #18, Hopper,

    Hey c’mon, lots of cats have hairy yellow asses. Some are striped. Some are gray, or white, or black or what have you. Trust me on this, I’ve seen a lot in my time. It’s what comes out that matters.

    BTW, calico is my favorite.

  19. the Three-Headed Cat™ says:

    #18- hop

    “Whoa! You have a hairy Yellow Ass?

    Gross!”

    Hey now! It could be worse… after all. I could have 3 of ’em…!

    (…tho I suspect Mr. Feline Feces would heartily approve…)

    In truth, however, I was merely borrowing the phrase from Homer Simpson. The real-world chromatic characteristics and degree of hirsuteness exhibited by my glutei must forever remain mysteries to the uninitiated.

    No photo, I guess.
