Fry Guys...
Yesterday I read a little article on the second page of the newspaper. It was about a man who wanted curly fries at a fast food restaurant. That in itself is not a news flash, and neither is the fact that the restaurant did not have curly fries. The newsworthy event was the fact that the man went completely crazy and the police were called in. And further, the man was shot in the abdomen by a policeman due to his threatening behaviour.
Now, I laughed out loud at the article because the absurdity of it all. Who goes ballistic over french fries (curly or otherwise)? And who shoots a man going crazy over french fries (curly or otherwise)? Needless to say, the man was sent to the hospital and the police officer is on indefinite leave.
My buddy Chris would say that fries would have killed the guy eventually anyways. Although, I imagine, a little more slowly....

the question everyone should be asking is why wasnt everyone knocked over by the sonic boom ? You "claim" the man went ballistic I find this very hard to believe first of all I'm pretty sure terminal velicity for humans is 122 mph with out some kind of propulsion assistance, was he wearing a rocket pack ? Did some one yell out "Houston we have a problem" just before the police shot him ? And if he went ballistic how were the police able to shoot him ? Wouldn't the man be travleing just as fast as the bullet? I find your story highly suspect.

Sorry, it was a typo. I meant he went "balsamic", meaning he wanted oil and vinegar for his curly fries.
My bad.

oil and vinegar ! that sounds vaguely middle eastern, was this some kind of terror threat! should we all go to yellow alert? is that why he was shot for ordering vineger and oil on his fries? should I get a sheet of plastic and some duct tape for my shower in case of a gas attack? please tell me what to do !
