It's not quite "make my day," but a clerk at a Seattle mini-mart scared off two would-be robbers with a memorable line of his own. "I looked at his gun and said, 'I have a bigger one than you do,'" Robert Moore tells KOMO-TV. As Moore reached for his own weapon to prove the point, the masked intruder ran from the store with an accomplice and took off in an SUV. Part of why Moore was so brave? He thinks the near-robber had a fake gun. The whole thing was caught on surveillance tape in front of an "incredulous" customer, reports CBS Seattle. (More Seattle stories.)
