Mayo… or death?!
When Shaggies Attack!
Mayonnaise Manslaughter, next time on Sick Sad World!
Seems a bit petty even if you don’t like mayonnaise. Ketchup maybe I could see. How tragically stupid can people be. Two lives destroyed and countless family members and friends forever injured. Have another beer dumbasses.
The victim was the one who received unwanted mayo.
As someone who prefers ketchup to mayo, neither condiment is worth murder. Now, good-quality chocolate…
I was just working on an animated gif with “Mayonnaise Manslaughter” added. You beat me to the punch. It just hit me- it’s like I was walking and you were in a car. Your Internet skills leave me tired and exhausted. Take my heart and thank you (truly) for allowing me to get back to real work- correcting someone that is wrong on the Internet.
On a slightly more serious note, this preventable tragedy will be viewed differently across the world. With some hyperbole, in some parts of the U.S. the murder will seem justified by some and the judge’s verdict an infringement on rights or freedoms or something. While in other parts of the world the headline would be something like, “Man killed for being helpful.”- Netherlands, I’m looking at you- fritessaus.
To be fair, for that, I just searched for sick sad world in the gif thingie, because I figured it would be in there (from Daria). I probably would have done a google image search if it had not been there…
Well it is the devil’s condiment.
He should get life in prison just for the mayo part. The murder just helps prove who he really was.
Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!
Are people not reading even the brief write up?
Person A put unwanted Mayo on person B’s food.
Person B punched person A.
Person A ran over person B several times with their automobile to ensure person B was dead.
The mayonnaise-er was not the person murdered. He was (bum bum buuuuum) the murderer!
I guess he was counting on heart disease to do the trick, albeit more slowly, but when he realized person B was having none of this death by Mayo, he expedited his timeline.
One of the craziest parts to me is that you’d even be sitting around eating and drinking in a bar at a table with someone you’d just as soon murder. WTF.
Yeah, I think the mayo simply makes it a news worthy story. More realistic is these guys have probably wanted to fight for a while now.
This is why I never hung out in bars where That Sort of Gentleman can be found.
How does one go about putting mayo on another person’s food? Did he use a butter knife, was it a burger, fries, tuna, a salad? Did he do it in front him? What was the quantity of mayo? So many questions.
