Wal-Mart Geezers Clash

Posted 4/09/2008 11:48 am by Stephanie Sturgis

It wasn’t a case of price slashing, more like price bashing, when a pair of senior citizen Wal-Mart employees got into a fight in the retail giant’s Royal Palm Beach, Florida store.

Fight Club soap

The police report states a 70-year-old Wal-Mart employee used a pricing gun to wallop an 81-year-old store co-worker.

The geezer perpetrator claimed he used the tool in self defense, but store surveillance cameras show a different story.

The octogenarian victim suffered a swollen eye and cuts on his mouth and nose after receiving the blow from the pricing gun.

Apparently these senior citizen brawlers don’t know the Rules of Fight Club, because the video also showed both were still wearing their shirts and shoes during the altercation.

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for the Wal-Mart franchise’s public relations department. The employee fracas comes right on the heels of the corporation losing its bid to claim ownership of the iconic yellow Smiley face.

    People do a lot of odd surveys.  A recent Ipsos Reid poll conducted in Canada at the behest of Microsoft asked a lot of questions about, what else, video games.  I suppose they’re trying to find out just where people play games so they can respond and push the Xbox 360 into the proper areas […]

    Evolution of Sarcasm

    Posted 6/20/2008 1:44 pm by Stephanie Sturgis

    Some call it being sarcastic.

    Some call it being a smartass.
    Either way, it’s apparently proof that we as human beings are evolving.
    It seems studies in Israel and California have shown that people with damage to the right side of the brain can not distinguish sarcasm during conversation.
    The scientists are saying that those who aren’t able to […]

    Death of a Gummy Bear
