Another Florida man was jailed on Monday for smashing a hamburger in his wife's face following an argument.
Regular readers of the Laughing Stalk column will no doubt recognize that this makes at least the 9th food-related assault in a year, and the 12th in the last 13 months.
More staggering however, is that its the fifth food-related attack from Florida, and the third in Port St. Lucie in less than a year.
According to the story on the WTSP website, Daniel Boss, 25, began arguing this past Thursday night, and started calling each other names. Then, Mrs. Boss poured pop on Boss' burger, so he rubbed it on her face and started throwing food at her.
Boss then left, and his wife reported the attack to the police. He was arrested three hours later on a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.
This is getting serious, people. This is the 8th food-related assault in Florida alone. And while we've seen a few copycat crimes in Iowa, Illinois, and Idaho (something else to give us pause. . .), ground zero of the food-related attacks seems to be that central band of Florida. Check it out for yourself.
