If you were a fit, young, 23 year old, knife wielding burglar, you’d consider yourself fairly safe breaking into the home of a 71 year old.
News.com.au has published an article titled, Boxing grandpa knocks thief out cold. It gives details of the thief who broke into the house of a retired Army boxer.
Gregory McCalium, 23, fronted court yesterday with a black eye and a fat lip after he was busted – and subsequently bashed – by 71-year-old Frank Corti in Mr Corti’s house in Oxford, UK.
Mr Corti was famous for his right hook when he was a featherweight in the Royal Engineers.
The thief certainly wasn’t expecting to come off second best.
71 year old Frank Corti defied expectations. He surprised the thief and everyone who has heard the story since.
In what way do you defy expectations? Is there something about you that most people don’t know? Something that you hide away, which would surprise even those who know you?
You might not be able to throw a right hook like Frank but is there something surprising about you that you can share? How about leaving a comment in the comments section of this post. Go on …. surprise me.

I had a slightly less frightening start to the day this morning.
