Interesting Day at Work.

Some one got stabbed at my workplace today. This is a lot funnier that it seems at first glance. Here's a quick run-down of what I've heard.

-Two guys (we'll call them fat guy and skinny guy) are fighting over this woman (who I would be willing to wager any amount is not hot).
-Apparently she used to be with skinny guy but left him to be with fat guy.
-Fat guy and skinny guy just happen to run into each other at the lumber desk.
-Words are exchanged. (I'm sure the ebonics involved here were utterly hilarious.)
-Fat guy tells skinny guy something to the effect of "you couldn't satisfy her".
-Skinny guy plunges a knife into fat guy's belly. It was a short knife and a large belly, so apparently no major injury was done.
-Skinny guy proceeds to get on his cell phone and call (rumor has it) the police. He walks around holding the knife in one hand and the phone in the other until the police arrive.
-The police point guns and tasers at him and he complies. Unfortunately he was not tased, bro.
-I learn of this and am surprised that a stabbing occurred that did not involve parking lot behavior/parking space or people fighting over a potted plant in the garden center.
-News crews show up in mass. I counted 4 vehicles from channel 11, and the reporterette walks up to a number of customers leaving the building to ask them if they saw anything. Most of them would not have noticed if the building had been on fire the entire time they were shopping. I had invented a fanciful story for the media, but was not asked if I saw anything.
-15 minutes later, a van from News-First 5&30 (who were actually News-distant second in this case) arrives.
-For the rest of the day employees walk up to each other saying "you couldn't satisfy her" and pretending to stab each other. A nice change of pace, really.
- I drop $400 on an X-box 360 on my way home on a whim. I will have to cancel my weekly shooting trips for a few weeks.
-Anyways, kind of an interesting day.

That is an interesting story, I am surprised that the media left the news room, after all they where likely dreaming about Obama and had to stop to report that story. Glad to hear that your enjoying your x-box. Also glad to hear no one was hurt, story very funny lol.

"You couldn't satisfy her bro" lol
