Cops Say Alabama Man Assaulted Roommate Over Stale Cap'n Crunch Cereal
IHeart Radio News ^ | 2/9/18

Posted on 02/09/2018 2:43:10 PM PST by iowamark

An Alabama man has been arrested after allegedly assaulting his roommate for failing to properly seal a box of Cap'n Crunch cereal, which had gone stale. Fifty-two year-old Duane Barry Smith was charged for domestic violence charges after he allegedly assaulted a man he shares a residence with in Moundville, a small town outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Police say Smith got upset with his roommate after he discovered the Cap'n Crunch cereal had gone stale, blaming the man for failing to properly seal the cereal box. Smith was especially angry since he is missing teeth, making it difficult to eat.

At one point, Smith demanded the roommate remove his dentures to see what it was like try and consume the stale cereal. When he refused, Smith began hitting him with a laptop charger cord. Police say the victim suffered several injuries to his face, hand and arm. A domestic violence misdemeanor conviction in Alabama can carry a sentence ranging from a month to a year in jail.

I hate it when that happens. Instead of “crunch,” it goes “squish.”

52 years old and wearing dentures?

Meth users would be my guess.

Wouldn't stale cereal be LESS crunchy, thus making it easier on the gums?

OK. Hitting another person is NEVER a good thing, but DAY-um! WHEN are cereal manufacturers going to make the inside-the-box bags with a zip-lock or slider top?

Beau & I have had this conversation a hundred times. He says it’s too expensive for the manufacturer. I say, BS - it’s because they WANT your cereal to go stale so you’ll buy more.

So, which is it? Hmmmm? Hmmmm?

While still in their first blush of romance, I’ll bet they shared this poem:

O Captain! My Captain!
Walt Whitman, 1819 - 1892

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack,
the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up- for you the flag is flung- for
you the bugle trills,

For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths- for you the shores
a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
