Quote of the day – police blotter edition

Courtesy of a link at Rev. Paul’s place, we learn of this entry in the famous Unalaska police blotter:

27 January, Sunday – 1519 – Ambulance Request – EMS provided care and transport for a patient who had been struck in the head with a case of frozen fish.

Hmm . . . I know that police involvement can lead to criminals being ‘weighed in the scales of Lady Justice‘, but I hadn’t realized that the scales were quite so literal – or so fishy!  Also, if – as the idiom goes – ‘revenge is a dish best served cold‘, what happens when the assault that prompted thoughts of revenge was perpetrated with a frozen-cold instrument in the first place?

  1. Sounds like a workplace accident somewhere in the delivery chain from fishing boat to supermarket. Like a pallet falling off a forklift with a coworker standing too close.
