Extra Cheese

Next time you're upset someone won't deliver pizza to your house, what should you do? Politely request that they do? Get carry out? Order from somewhere else? Those options don't work for you? Well, there's only one choice left. Try to have them arrested! I shit thee not. A North Carolina woman (does it suprise anyone that she's elderly? best argument I've heard for cutting Social Security benefits) called 911 20 times in 38 minutes demanding police arrest the proprietors of a pizza chain that would not deliver pizza to her home. Police showed up and threw her in jail for two nights. Her response?

A police spokeswoman said the octogenarian scratched, kicked and bit the hand of the officer who did not feed her, after her repeated calls provoked a police response.

She has now been released from jail, pending a court appearance in July, after a judge ordered a medical evaluation.


Damn. I could make just about a million jokes about crazy old people, their medication, and their childishness, as the 70 year old man who banged at my apartment door and cursed me out at 5 in the morning for accidentally parking in "his space" aptly demonstrated to me, but I won't. Because this is too funny to warrant additional jokes. (Via Suburban Guerilla)
