We Need Pork Chop Control!

First they came for our handguns. Then they came for our long guns. Then knives, swords, nail-clippers, spear guns and everything else that could possibly inflict injury. Well folks, they missed something:

Police charge woman over pork chop assault

A man is in hospital after being hit in the head with a frozen pork chop in Queensland's south-west.

A woman has been charged with assault.

Police say the 45-year-old man was helping his son move out of a block of units in the south-western Queensland town of Roma when he was attacked with a frozen pork chop.

His son and some friends had been evicted from the unit and were moving out when a dispute erupted over a fridge which belonged to one family and the meat which belonged to another.

Police allege a woman aged in her 30s used a frozen chop to hit the man.
He has been taken to hospital requiring stitches.

A woman has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and is due to appear in court on March 8.


Folks, the dangers presented by food are tantamount to a war on human life where recipe books provide easy answers to the question of "how can I hurt someone". Imagine if people started to conceal-carry dangerously sharp ribs and tooth-picks and broccoli spears and when you think of torture, how about rack of lamb? And don't even get me started on "chocolate death"!!! And remember, Agatha Christie gave us all the blueprints for eliminating our enemies through poisons that can be concealed in many of our food-stuffs.

We HAVE to ban food and eating! It is the only way to prevent the terrible carnage inflicted by dangerous food. "Oh the humanity".

Australia (where this happened) and England and San Francisco take note!

Update 2/13: I found this:

The Semi-Automatic Pork Chop


Update 2/14: Now here's the other thing, many want to impose a "one pork chop per month" law on all of us:

"Why do they need so many pork chops?"


You know, folks, I believe in our produce department right to keep and bear pork chops. I keep a pork chop concealed on my hip at all times. Sure, by 3-4 PM the flys give it away but still, "an un-armed man is a hungry man" and all that. And yes, I will flog this post for all it's worth... So fortunately, there are several suppliers of holsters designed for the concealed-carry of pork chops:

Okay, I'm just ribbing you...

It should be noted that Val Prieto (www.babalublog.com) and SteveH (www.hoginice.com) are devoting another weekend to reducing the porcine population of Southern Florida.

And Bridges! They missed those!

We don't have to ban pork chops, all we have to do is lobby congress to pass a federal law that all chops sold in stores must be of the boneless variety. Failing this, maybe a law that all freezers must have safety locks on them.

Who can forget the immortal Alfred Hitchcock episode where the wife clubs her husband to death with a frozen leg of lamb, and the serves the fresh-out-of-the-oven roast lamb to the detectives who can't find the murder weapon?

Wow, Ted, I had totally forgotten about that episode until you mentioned it.

I wonder if my readers can think of other instances (NOT including poison) where the criminal used food as a weapon? This can be real or fiction.
