Apprehending the Burglar

A lady surprised a burglar in her kitchen. He was all loaded down with the things he was going to steal. She had no weapon and was all alone. The only thing that she could think to do was quote scripture. So, she held up a hand and said, "ACTS 2:38!"

The burglar quaked in fear and then froze to the point that she was able to get to the phone and call 911.

When the police arrived, the burglar was still frozen in place. They were very much surprised that a woman alone, with no weapon, could capture an imposing looking burglar.

One of them asked the woman, "How did you do this?"

The woman replied, "I quoted scripture."

The officer turned to the burglar and asked, "What was it about the scripture that had such an effect on you?"

The burglar replied, "Scripture! What scripture? I thought she said she had an axe and two 38's!!!"
