back to article Cops break up German sausage fight between pair of Neubrandenburgers

German police were called to an outbreak of sausage-related violence this week, after a man used a mega wurst to inflict serious damage on a BMW. According to a police report, a parking dispute between two men in the town of Neubrandenburg Oststadt quickly descended into threats and insults, then a shoving match. Things …

    No BMWs there at the time, though.

      Did anyone ever smash up a Trabant with a Blockworst frm the local HO?

      BTW, how about EMWs?

    I'm reminded of the episode of The Goodies that had the Lancastrian martial art of Ecky Thump.

    (For anyone not nearing retirement age, it consisted of hitting people with Black Puddings.)

      And tomato-shape ketchup containers are no defence if I remember correctly :)

        "tomato-shape ketchup containers"

        That was the Bunfight at the O.K. Tea Rooms:

          Ah! Well I was barely into my teens when the Goodies were on. Not too surprising if the memories are a bit faded :)

          Thanks for the YouTube clip - hilarious

      There was also 'The Dreaded Batter-Pudding Hurler (of Bexhill-on-Sea)' by the Goons.

        Yes but there's no mention of a portable gas stove so it can't be him.

      "I'm reminded of the episode of The Goodies that had the Lancastrian martial art of Ecky Thump."

      For reminding me of that episode.

      Loved the Goodies - another episode that I remember is when one of them was using capons on his climbing boots - they appeared to be much more effective than the crampons the others were using.

    The wurst part was the car wasn't a banger

    I wonder if that's the sausage with the picture of the Madonna with the big jugs in it.

      Re: Allo Allo

      As any student of art history knows, that's "The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies" by van Klomp, which may or may not be within Herr Flick's sausage.

    Taking buffet food home

    This is a tricky one, what with food waste as it is these days, I often want to do the same, not because of penny pinching but to prevent the waste.

    I invariably take a late lunch at our office canteen and often see a lot left over that goes in the bin. If I actually wanted it to take home I'd have to buy it.

    Something's definitely not right with this!

    the 49-year-old may face charges of property damage.

    Quite right too. That's no way to treat a valuable item. The sausage might have got badly bruised.

    A parking dispute?

    So they were both trying to dock their penis extensions in the same spot and the only way to resolve the dispute was to actually compare sausages, and have a meat fight.

    Brilliant.

    Choose wisely

    "... it was a metal clip on the sausage that caused the actual damage, "

    I find that a smooth, close fitting metal ring around my sausage is very effective and doesn't cause any damage or discomfort to anyone involved.

    The sausages were massive

      Re: What, Wait... back up...

      Why not - it's an offence in this country (under the Public Order Act), so why not in Germany?

      He may have insulted The Wurst, a serious crime around here.

    Be careful when you look that up. This caused one of the rare documented cases where somebody died of laughing.

    It's good job he didn't break the indicator.

      It's a Beemer, how can you tell the difference?

      1. Oengus

        Beemer indicators are rarely broken (they are hardly ever used so mostly like new even on really old Beemers). It is the drivers who don't know what they are used for...

          The standing joke used to be:

          Q: "How do you tell the unmarked police cars on the M25?"

          A: "They're the only BMWs that indicate!"

  13. Baldy50

    Now if it were leberkase or a Styrofoam tray of bratkartoffeln there would have been no damage apart from a greasy smear. Choose your food weapon carefully. Nearly broke a tooth on one of those metal bloody clips once, could have choked!

    Good job it wasn't Switzerland, they’re nearly always packing!

    Never understood whilst living there, Ze Germans (in the voice of Jason Stathom) trying to get on a crowded zug before anyone had a chance to get off and just slowed the whole process down, made a bit of a mockery of the trains always being on time IMO.

    The concept of queuing, no!!! Not even going to go there!

      Yep, Germans are particularly rubbish letting people off public transport. My young daughter once got stuck on a tram because some old biddy barged through the door getting on without letting anyone else off. By the time my daughter could get back to the door it had closed and the tram drove on. Luckily the next stop wasn't that far away and no harm done. But still, how rude!

    NRA angle?

    Has no one said yet that if you prise our sausages from our cold dead hands then only the bad guys will have sausages?
