Combine alcohol and flat-out stupidity...

Not to mention anger control issues...

Wisconsin man uses ax on his property after spat over toys

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin police say a 34-year-old man who thought his wife damaged his action figures retaliated by taking an ax to the family's car, television and laptop in the house.

Madison Police Chief Mike Koval says the man called police just after 10 p.m. Sunday and told them he had too much to drink and overreacted about his action figures. Police say the man struck the car's windshield so hard the ax got stuck.

There is no way I could ever feel safe around a person like that.

Woldn't want BuzzLightyear to lose an arm or sumpin.

34 and playing with action figures (I know he wasn't playing with them) but the episode reminds me of a Billy Joel song
