Food Makes People C R A Z Y !!
*sigh.
And people wonder why I think the restaurant industry is both frightening and amusing at the same time.

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- An unhappy Subway customer called 911 not once,
but twice to complain to police that his sandwich was not made to his
liking. Reginald Peterson called the Jacksonville Sheriffs
Office in hopes that police could have his sandwich made to his
satisfaction. A short time later, Peterson contacted JSO again to complain that police still had not shown up. When
police did arrive Peterson told the officer he had ordered two
sandwiches, checked out, and then walked outside to find the subs did
not have "everything" he ordered. He told police he became "very upset" and "belligerent" because the employee making the sandwich was not doing it correctly. Witnesses
inside the store say Peterson eventually started screaming at everyone
inside. When Peterson went outside to call police. Employees closed the
store and locked the door to keep him from returning. According
to the report, the officer tried to calm Petterson and explain to him
the proper way to use 911, but he would not cooperate. Peterson was arrested and at his request the sandwiches were thrown away.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: A) I fear for the future and B) Stupid people should not procreate. However, I'm going to add this new insight -- Floridians are IDIOTS. First hanging chads, now this? An earthquake should just separate it from the rest of the country and send it out to sea already.
(By the by: any of you who think I'm serious about hating people from Florida really need to pull that stick out from your ass)
And reporting from CNN.com ::
PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A New York man who pleaded guilty
to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get
calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.
Tremayne Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he got a break from jail food.
The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed
Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its
owner, authorities said. Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder
-- but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed
and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed
potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream. After Wednesday's
sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal -- calzones,
lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will
pay the tab. Durham also got married Wednesday in a civil
ceremony at the Portland courthouse. The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48,
also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give
Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.
Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric
Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement
because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.
I wish I could've been a fly on the wall when that deal went down.
