Chilli Foils Robbery At Sydney Takeaway (http://news.sky.com/story/1087451/chilli-foils-robbery-at-sydney-takeaway)
So apparently, there's a robbery at a Sydney takeaway place, and a quick thinking employee throws chilli all over the the robbers face. Sounds fun no?
Have you ever used food to attack someone in self defence? If not, what would you use if (hypothetically) someone came at you with a knife or whatever?
Me? Hard to say really. I imagine if they were vegetarian then fending them off with a giant slab of meat would be a great deterrent.
The funniest story though is of the potato. The U.S.S O'Bannon blasted a Japanese submarine with it's five-inch gun, which was enough to cause the sub to be unable to submerge, but was still, strangely enough, able to float. The O'Bannon pulled alongside as armed Japanese sailors came up from the inside ready to shoot. The O'Bannon couldn't depress the gun at such short range, and for some reason, the Americans had no arms with them. The Americans hurled potatoes at the Japanese instead, causing one to fall overboard. The remaining thought they were grenades and hurriedly went back inside the sub for safety, where the O'Bannon could then get enough distance back to sink it.
And that, is how potatoes won the battle. The end.
