Taser Duel in the Parking Lot at High Noon

This is 2008. Who marches out on an empty street and fires off in a quick draw against a hated opponent? Oh, the modern day duels the likes of which would make Doc Holliday proud still exist, but today it's more of a shock than a shot. It's time for tasers at 30 paces!

Don't Tase Me Bro!

A restaurant owner and a security supervisor got into a dispute over a parking boot, which led to electric warfare. Yes, they both tased each other. Let's look at this objectively. How often do parking disputes go awry like this. Also, what in the world are the odds that both these men were carrying tasers. Alright, I'll give the security guard a little credit, but the restaurant owner? Does he tase the staff when they're not performing up to task? Too much paprika in that last dish! BZZZ! It's possible that he was worried about safety, since the security guards were putting boots on all the cars in his parking lot, so how does one escape from peril when the time comes? Press the gas, and end up with your car ripping apart or moving no where, and a burglar all kinds of amused at the easy pickings.

Either way, it seems like the kind of thing that would be more likely to happen in South Park, CO, than in Boulder. Way to represent everyone's god given right to tase in the face of danger.

A Different Way To Tip The Waiter

Sometimes, a waiter has a charming sass to them.  Sometimes, they just plain don't like you.  This woman encountered the latter on a recent outing to an Italian Steakhouse in England.

That lady thought my service sucked?  I've got something else she can suck

According to the story, her bill was itemized with, "Cabernet Sauvignon, crude invitation to oral sex, fish cakes."  The restaurant only said that it apologized and that this was the result of a game between the staff.  I like how no one was fired or anything.  The restaurant is clearly run in the good humor of people just challenging each other to dare contests.  

"I bet you won't drop this rat in the soup."

"Oh yeah? Watch me.  I bet you won't trip and fall and spill food on a customer."

"Oh yeah?  Well, I bet you won't throw nutmeg into that man's dessert even though he's deathly allergic."

"Oh yeah?  I bet you won't dare that woman to come to the kitchen and sex you up."

The best part of it was that according to the woman, the service was just plain awful too.
