If you’re resorting to throwing about reptiles like live grenades in order to win your argument, I’m not sure your argument is worth winning.
A live snake was tossed over the counter at a Tim Hortons in Saskatoon this morning during an argument over onions.
Two 20-year-old men engaged in a heated debate this morning with a worker at the restaurant over sandwich toppings. They wanted diced onions, and the restaurant does not dice its onions.
As the argument escalated at the restaurant in the 600 block of 22nd Street West, one of the men reached into the pocket of his friend’s coat, pulled out a live snake and threw it behind the counter. Staff members fled the store in fear.
“Obviously, [the workers] were very frightened,” said police spokeswoman Alyson Edwards. “There was quite a lot of screaming going on.”
Now, the cops busted these two guys shortly thereafter (and yes the snake is okay, it was a non-poisonous garter snake) and I do have to wonder why you would keep a live snake in your coat in Saskatoon in December.
But I have to admit, any readers like myself who have ever done any tabletop RPGs (or some of the daffier computer point-and-click adventure games) will immediately go “Emergency Distraction Snake(tm)? That’s not only completely valid but a brilliant idea. I’m going to use this.”
Open Thread otherwise.
