Man Pulls Gun On Clerk Over 'Faulty' Penis Pump

Source: Huffington Post

A man threatened a Minnesota adult video store clerk with a pistol after he refused to exchange what he claimed was a faulty penis pump, police said. Police are searching for the suspect who wielded the firearm at Viva Video in St. Paul on Wednesday evening, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.

The unidentified man walked into the business and said he wanted to swap the item because it didn't work as advertised, according to KMSP. The clerk turned down his request, saying any problems were down to "operator error," per the Pioneer Press.

Police said the suspect then pulled out a pistol, pointed it at the worker's head and demanded a replacement. He then fled without a new sex aid, though he vowed to return.

Irony is really hard to recognize in the USA. You never know when someone is 'serious'.

And they can be faulty.

Still no reason to pull a gun. As if there is ever a reason.
