True Story about Ruth Grammy Gordon

Grandma Beats Up Airport Security Guards

By Bob Wallace

Charges were dropped yesterday against
Ruth ‘
Grammy’
Gordon, an 83-year-old wheelchair-bound grandmother, who was originally charged with assault and battery, and assault with a deadly weapon, because of an altercation she had last week
with six airport security guards, that left all six hospitalised.

‘Justice has been served, ‘said the 95-pound mother of three and grandmother of six, as she sat in her wheelchair, aided in her breathing
by an oxygen bottle.’
Now I’m going to sue every fool in the federal government for ignorance, stupidity, and just plain general incompetence. I’m an American, and I won’t
be treated like this.’

The
problem began last month as Gordon was attempting to board an airplane.’
These guys are supposed to be some kind of professionals, ‘she said, ‘but they’re dumber than rocks. Here they were letting guys
who looked just like terrorists walk through without searching them, and then they pull me aside and tell me they’re going to search me? I don’t
think so.’

According to one witness, Bud Cort of
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, one guard, ‘who weighed about 300 pounds, looked like he was drunk, and had his shirt out, told this woman she couldn’t
board the plane unless they searched her. He was really
rude. That’s
when the trouble started.’

Videotapes showed that Gordon ran the guard down with her motorized wheelchair, then sat on top of the screaming man while spinning her chair in circles.’
Doofus
was so fat he couldn’t
get up, ‘said Gordon with a giggle.

One guard who attempted to pull Gordon’s
wheelchair off of the screaming man from behind was hit over the head with an oxygen bottle and knocked
unconscious. A third guard, who approached Gordon from the front, was also left dazed on the floor. Witnesses said she was cackling, ‘Put your hands on an old lady, will you?’
as she bashed both guards.
The tape also showed a fourth guard attempting to grab Gordon’s
wheelchair. Gordon removed a knitting needle from her purse and stabbed him in his left buttock.’
What a wimp, ‘she told reporters.’
He
started screaming and grabbing his butt and running like a puppy that someone kicked.’

‘It was amazing, ‘said another witness, a Scott Ryan.’
The whole crowd just stood there cheering and clapping. I
mean, she was whupping butt.’

A fifth guard that attempted to grab Gordon had the seat of his pants set on fire with a cigarette lighter than had escaped detection.’
He just went whoosh across the
concourse, screaming and slapping at all these flames flying out of his rear, ‘said Ryan.

A sixth guard did finally manage to get Gordon in a body hug.’I think that was the wrong thing to do, ‘said
another witness, who declined to be identified.’
She just grabbed him by his greasy hair with one hand and cracked him across the jaw with her skinny fist. And down and out he went.’

After all this,
Gordon’s
chair was still sitting on top of the first guard.

The tapes clearly showed her leaning over and yelling, ‘Apologize to me, you fat sumbitch, or when I’m done with you you’
ll just be a greasy
spot on the floor!’

As the crowd roared, the guard cried, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Uncle! I won’t
do it again!’

Finally, Gordon surrendered without further incident, and was taken to jail and
released on her own recognizance.’
We didn’t
have any choice, ‘said an unidentified officer of the court.’
Over 200 people showed up to support her. I think if we had demanded bail, there would have been
a riot.’

Over 20 lawyers offered to defend her for free. However, realizing the precariousness of the case, Gordon was not charged with anything.’I doubt there’s
a jury in the whole country that would
have found her guilty of anything, ‘said one of the lawyers.

‘I’m flying again tomorrow, ‘Gordon told reporters.’
And I suggest no one at the airport so much as look at me wrong.’

Ruth ‘ Grammy’ Gordon is an urban
myth.  In fact, it’s a fiction invented by Bob Wallace.  Clues are the
references to ‘ Bullwinkle’ (Bullwinkle Security Company, R.J. Squirrel Airport;
Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, Badanov Hospital) Also the names mentioned in the
piece, Bud Cort and  Ruth Gordon happen to be the two stars of the 1971 film Harold and Maude.
