My husband and I belong to the SCA-Society for Creative Anachronisms, we do medieval re-enacting. Many years ago there was a story along the same lines except the mugger pulled a switchblade and the "muggee" pulled a sword as he happened to be on his way back from an event. The line that has been passed down thru history:"I see your six (the switchblade) and raise you 30 (the sword)." The muggee then demanded the guy's wallet, shoes, and jacket (I think) and flagged down the first cop he passed to give him the info on the mugger....and that one IS true!
