lines you don't hear very often...

A sad story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/7061885.stm

But what attracted me was the sentence:

"An argument broke out between Mr Jenner and Mr McCormick and continued after the defendant offered to buy him a sausage. "

I imagine it was one of those situations where you had to be there to understand it...

Anyone got any other great lines from news stories?

why did he go to punch the girlfriend?

She laughed at his sausage.

 

[Elmer Fudd]

I note that between paragraphs 1 & 5 that Mr. Gary Jenner had aged from 26 to 28.

Now, that is one serious row over a sausage.

"Dring" seconds out...'...he wanted to batter her..."

 

[Arch]

But now, he's had his chips...

Still, at least he's not frittering time away in jail...

I remember one from the Metro which was relaying the sad news that the owner of the playboy empire had died 'after a series of strokes'...

 

[Aperitif]

Patrick wasn't the savaloyer involved was he?

 

[Dayvo]

But now, he's had his chips...

Still, at least he's not frittering time away in jail...

Was he a salted and a battered-ed?

I know somebody who in total seriousness uttered the following 'one-time-only' line; "My cheese-board is abbutted against the coving"
