"All right, who said 'mattresses' to Mr. Lambert again?"

FTA: Larry Dale Hummel, 43, of 8505 N Mitchell St., was reacting to being fired from Family Mattress on Thursday by luring his supervisor back to the 8518 Nebraska Ave. store later that evening and threatening to kill him with a baseball bat, according to an arrest affidavit.

Clear case of passive voice.

/I'm a stickler for grammar.

I don't get where they got ATTACKS from.
What I get is that he was THREATENED.

I imagine we'll see more and more of this as companies continue to hide behind employment at will.

Supervisor ought to be glad they didn't work in a butcher shop...

/Got nothing...

This happened on Nebraska Avenue, so it is not surprising at all.

Actually, the only surprising thing is that there was not a transexual prostitute involved somehow.

Remember when you carry a baseball bat for protection always have a glove and a ball too for credibility. As my baseball bat had nails in it even this did not save me from some serious questioning.

I worked in a butcher shop in highschool, and one of the butchers got fired for feeling up an underaged employee. She had been fired two days earlier for stealing and came back threatening a sexual harassment lawsuit unless she got her job back and they fired the butcher. The guy was married and had kids, and I really thought he was going to start slicing people up while he was packing up his knives.

Maybe I should have done that instead of packing up my desk and going home When I lost my job. It certainly would have been more personally fulfilling, but I doubt it would have had a positive impact on any new employment prospects.

Seriously though, pillow fights with a Tempurpedic pillow could seriously injure someone. I'd say probably as much damage as a baseball bat.

Have to ever considered that maybe the boss who fired him was a total dick?

Something tells me this won't improve his future job prospects (unless he has a good swing and a MLB scout was on hand).

If only there was a way to search for images of pillowfights on the internet tha would be great.

Came in for pictures of hotties in lingerie having a pillow fight.

Left disappointed.
