Mich. man gets probation for assault with 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.”
It is not known whether they were able to save the pickles.

Guess this would be a good time to announce that I will be appearing at the No Cukes concert in Central Park next month. Remember, it’s for the children.

Fruits and vegetables can be some pretty nasty stuff if you get enough velocity on ’em. In my third year of college, some of my floormates swiped extra fruits from the cafeteria and then decided to try them out on one of the 3-story dormitory walls that conveniently was nought but windowless expanse of bricks…with a water balloon launcher. The grand finale was an orange that left behind only partial fragments of a peel, appearing to have otherwise vaporized.
It hadn’t. Well more than eight seconds later, after the laughter was dying down and everyone was turning to head toward the nearest entrance, the core of the orange came straight back to earth, splattering to the asphalt in the perfect middle of four very lucky people.
Which brought the house down.
