For some of you "pickle haters" out there, this story may be too much for you to read. For those of us who enjoy a good pickle (such as myself), this report out of Niles, Michigan will be good for a laugh. For those of you who despise pickles to their very core -- if they had a core -- this may disturb you.
Two friends became involved in an altercation that will go down in the court logs as one of the strangest ever. Jody Lee complained to friend Bobby Lee Bolen when Bolen went to Lee's refrigerator and began eating pickles. Lee told Bolen that he could not afford to feed everyone. Bolen proceeded to storm out of the house, only to return moments later. He grabbed two more pickles and threw them at Lee, yelling something to the effect of, "Here are your pickles!" (edited for profanity).
Bolen was arrested and imprisoned for 54 days on charges of assault......with pickles. If only he had used the sweet kind. Surprisingly, alcohol was involved (tongue firmly implanted in cheek).
I know for some of you, being attacked with pickles would be a fate worse than death. How silly, though, is the behavior of Mr. Bolen? Perhaps we understand even more fully in cases such as this what God meant when he breathed the following words through the writing of Solomon:
Be sober friend -- both in mind and in body -- and your regrets will be far fewer.
