Hold The Ketchup!
Earlier, I posted about two holdup men in Greece who robbed a store employee using ketchup. Call it the great condiment caper. I closed the post with these words: "They only managed to get about 400 Euros. No word on pickles." Bless the wire services, folks. We have an assault with a deadly pickle.
NILES, Mich. - Talk about being in a pickle: A judge gave a 35-year-old man probation in a case that police said involved an assault with pickles. According to police reports, the pickle problems began when Bobby Lee Bolen of Buchanan was hanging out at his then-friend Jody Lee's home in Buchanan on Aug. 20.
Bolen went to the refrigerator and helped himself to some pickles. According to the report, Lee told Bolen he couldn't afford to feed everyone and not to eat his pickles. Bolen then began yelling and swearing and stormed out, according to the report.
Later, Bolen barged back into the house and got into an argument with Lee. Lee told police Bolen slammed him down on the couch and threw two large pickles at him and said, "Here's your damn pickles."
Bolen proceeded to beat up another former friend, then commenced to beating on Lee again with a telephone receiver. I think we can safely assume Bolen has some anger management issues. As well as a taste for exotic weaponry. If we can just get a story with mustard or onion, we'll have hit the Big Mac of news today!

You couldn’t make up a story like this one if you tried.

I haven’t posted about the Giant Yam of Sumatra, have I?
