Buffet line bickering leads to knife threat (Wisconsin)

Trading barbs in a buffet line almost led to a tiff late last week at the Old County Buffet on the east side, but the sprouting dispute ended when a friend of one of the parties intervened, only to be arrested for waiving a knife around.

Madison police tentatively charged Faith A. Simer, 19, of Lake Mills, with disorderly conduct after she sat down in a booth occupied by her friend's protagonist with a steak knife and may or may not have threatened him. That was after he may or may not have flashed her the international digit of derision at her, police said.

It all started when a young man and young woman, who police described as being friends, were approaching buffet tables when they bumped into one another.

"The victim said he had his eye on his next entree when his right arm connected the left arm of the young woman," police spokesman Joel DeSpain said.

"He says the woman responded by commenting on his girth indicating he did not need any more nourishment," DeSpain said. ...

I love Joel DeSpain!

They always haul him out for comments on the funny local stories on the radio here too.

What's funny is that the steak knives at Old Country are the kind with round tips.  The only way to hurt someone would be to pin them down and saw. :-)

Heh. Someone could have received a nasty spreading injury.
