I Heart Utah: Grey Poupon
I am going to start posting a series of spotlights on Utah goings-ons. I can’t deny it, Utah is probably the most fascinating, most bizarre state I have ever lived in. There is always something going on that could create a new region in everyone’s hero Adam Carolla’s Germany or Florida (or Utah). For example:
Motorist draws gun at ‘Grey Poupon’ question
A prank imitating a fancy mustard commercial turned serious when a driver pulled out a gun.
Three men goofing around had the driver of an SUV next to their vehicle roll down his window. They asked him, “Pardon me. Would you have any Grey Poupon?”
But instead of the funny accent response that you’d hear in the commercial, “But of course,” the 22-year-old driver pulled out a gun, cocked it, pointed at the three men and added a few colorful words.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports it happened June 18 at the intersection of 900 East and Winchester Street (6500 South) in Murray.
Police tracked down the driver, and he was charged in court on Tuesday with aggravated assault, which is a third-degree felony.
I would assume the retort from the offender went a little something like this:
“LISTEN MOFO ALL WE GOT UP IN THIS RIDE IS FRY SAUCE! WORD.”

UPDATE: From The Smoking Gun, “Here’s your Grey Poupon, roll your f***ing windows up.”

…wow, why doesn’t a bunch of kids screwing around ever ask me if I have any Grey Poupon?? I’ve had the same jar since 1985, when this reference actually made sense…
