LONDON - A British motorist, driving home from work with his car window wound down, had his nose broken by a flying frozen sausage, an official said Monday.

The 46-year-old man was driving near his home in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, east of London, when the sausage came through the window and hit him on the nose, a spokesman for the Essex Ambulance Service said on condition of anonymity.

"The man said he was making his way home after work and had the window down because it was such a nice afternoon," the ambulance spokesman said.

"He said he saw a car coming the other way and felt a searing pain in his nose.

"His nose was undoubtedly fractured and he had lost quite a lot of blood.

"It must have been an incredibly lucky, or unlucky, shot to get the sausage through a moving car window. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before."

Essex police said they were investigating the incident.

I told 'em. Ban sticks, next thing you know people will be wielding frozen sausages. I shudder to think of the ramifications of banning flying frozen sausages.

When sausages are outlawed only butcher will have susages. Don't get me started on easily concealed smokey links.

The guy is definitely LUCKY that the sausage wasn't loaded.

It might have been a flying something-that-looks-like-a-sausage-but-really-isn't.
