All Over a Trolley?



Salami and Cheese, sounds like good party food. Or in this case, good fighting food. A 74-year old man and a 35-year old women got into a fight when they both tried to grab the same shopping cart (or trolley as they call it in England where the fight took place.) It seems like the store ran out of trolleys because it was packed with Christmas shoppers. The old man tried to take the cart from the lady, but her younger brother punched the old man in the face. The siblings, along with their 53-year old Mom, took the cart to the cheese department, but the old man followed them armed with a long salami. He clubbed the puncher repeatedly with the salami. Not about to let her son get porked, the Mom grabbed a big 4 pound piece of sharp Parmesan cheese and started stabbing the old man with the end. Next, the old man shoved the Mom's head into a glass counter top and cracked her head open. The police finally arrived and broke up the fight. The trolley was undamaged. I don't know about the cheese and salami though.
