Wrong Building

A Japanese burglar picked the wrong place to burgle:

The burglar, who was unemployed, admitted he was baffled to find himself among sumo wrestlers.

"First I was caught by a massive man. When the lights turned on, I was surrounded by more than a dozen sumo wrestlers. I was surprised," Kawabata told police, as quoted by Jiji Press.

I'll bet he was.

This reminds me of the scene in "Tremors," when the sandworms break into the survivalists' basement, whereupon it's blasted by every weapon know to man that's not belt fed, and the Michael Gross character says "Guess you broke into the wrong God damn rec room, didn't ya!"

I'm rather more reminded of the joke about a man in Japan that was trying to find a cheap way to lose weight...

Then again there was the report a little while back about the man who tried to rob a beauty parlor and the hairdressers and patrons "forceably detained" him. I'd rather have to tell my cellmates about the Sumo wrestlers.
