Suicide Bomber Threatens to Blow Up Restaurant With Sausage

Posted by samzenpus on from the put-down-the-bratwurst dept.

Chinese Police spent a tense hour in a stand-off with a suicide bomber before it was discovered that the bomber's dynamite was actually sausage. 23-year-old Sing He threatened to blow up a restaurant, all its customers, and himself unless he received the contents of the cash register. The bomb unit called in eventually determined that the device He had was assembled with pork products. "When we saw what he had round his waist we couldn't help laughing. Some of the sausages still had the wrappers on them," said one bomb squad officer. "It must have been terrifying for the customers but those things would only have gone off if you'd kept them past their sell by date."

    From the headline I feared it might have been someone of a religion with strict dietary laws (there are two that come immediately to mind if you don't count the Baptist inclination towards pork products) who was going to destroy the restaurant as a protest against the serving of sausage. : - )

      Remember: no matter what your dietary laws may be, there is always something that violates them in sausage!
