The owner of a small fish and chips shop in Victor Harbor, Australia, down near Adelaide, has perfected the newest in crime-fighting methods. When an armed man made an attempt to hold the shop up, the owner battered him. No, not battered as in beat him up, battered as in battered and fried. And if the oil hadn't missed, he would have perfected the extra-crispy holdup man.
"The hot oil missed but the batter hit the offender and he fled empty handed," South Australian police said in a statement.
Police said the attempted armed robbery happened on Thursday evening at the quiet seaside retirement town of Victor Harbor, near the South Australian state capital of Adelaide.
What goes with golden brown fried robber?
Deep fried thug?
Crispy crook?
“And if the oil hadn’t missed, he would have perfected the extra-crispy holdup man.”
That made me laugh.
Batter luck next time mate.
