Size Matters, But At What Cost?




I didn't make this up.

We're reliably informed by a gentleman of impeccable credentials that three men were shot dead in a Durban (that's in South Africa) tavern over, what else, the relative size of the contending parties' tackle.

That's right, folks.

It seems that a couple of patrons of the fine drinking establishment were in adjoining stalls and an Indian man told his white counterpart that his ...ahem....tackle was woefully deficient from a size standpoint. The white fellow informed his accomplices, words were exchanged, firearms were brandished, and three people died in the resulting fusillade of gunfire.

The worst part of it is that none of the suspects were injured in the gunfire.
