Supermarket display of dangerous weapons

Two thieves armed only with ketchup ambushed a supermarket employee as he was taking cash to the bank, Greek police said Tuesday.

“The thieves jumped out of the bushes and threw two big bags of ketchup on the front window to stop the car,” said a police official who requested anonymity.

The man fought with his attackers who managed to flee on a motorcycle with only 400 euros of the 140,000 euros he was carrying.

When ketchup is outlawed only outlaws will have ketchup.

    …attackers who managed to flee on a motorcycle…

    I guess he couldn’t ketchup with them…

  2. Mark Derail says:

    Wow, they stole over 560$ If they hold onto it, it will soon be 600$.

    In the spirit of TinyUrl, I bring you the *famous* ketchup bottle trick.

    Gee, I wonder if The Great Communicator realized that ketchup could be a terrorist weapon when he recommended it as the “vegetable” to give kids in their school lunches.

    (shrug)

    Every thing can be used as a weapon, part of a weapon, or to make a weapon.

    Will we need FBI approval to buy ketchup next? 5 day waiting period? Show ID to prove we are over 21?

    #4 – Reagan was “The Great Communicator”. Bush is just an asshat.

    Heinz is so thick you think it would have slowed their get away!

  8. Mister Mustard says:

    >>Reagan was “The Great Communicator”. Bush is just an asshat.

    I’m aware of both those facts. Reagan was the one who recommended ketchup as a “vegetable” for schoolchildren, rather than giving them real fruit and vegetables http://tinyurl.com/brlha

    Any hamburger for that Katsup

    #8 – Oh yes…

    Fair enough 🙂

    (And Reagan was kind of an asshat too, anyway)

    I still prefer the use of ketchup as fake blood – as in when those nutjob right-to-lifers filled cabbage patch dolls with ketchup and then threw them at abortion clinics – now that was funny!

    >>When ketchup is outlawed only outlaws will have ketchup.

    I’d rather take my chances against thieves armed with a glob of ketchup than a Glock.

    I’m still pro gun control.

    “I’m still pro gun control.”

    Of course you are.

  14. The Monster's Lawyer says:

    I’m pro-ketchup control.
