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.”
The Virgin Mary. The three kings. A few wayward sheep. These are the figures one expects to find in a traditional Christmas nativity scene. Not a smartly dressed peasant squatting behind a rock with his rear-end exposed.
“SCOTTSDALE – A mother faces child endangerment charges after a valet called police to report she left her 2-year-old son alone in her BMW while she shopped at Scottsdale Fashion Square.
Gardenia Zakrzewski-Johansson was arrested in the mall parking lot outside Neiman Marcus after valets watched her walk into the store with a small dog under her arm, directing them to watch her car with the child inside.”
