Roommate killed over 'stinky feet'
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=071008171245.ezubiu09&show_article=1

A Texas man is accused of stabbing his roommate to death because the man complained about his "stinky feet," local media reports.
The two men rented a small bedroom in a Houston apartment from a married couple with a baby.

The mother and child were sitting outside Saturday evening when the men started drinking in their room, the Houston Chronicle reported Monday.

They started fighting about the man's "stinky feet" and the woman peered into the room to see one of the men holding a knife in his hands, said Sgt. M. Sosa of the homicide squad.

"By the time she got inside, he was on top of the other man," he told the paper.

The women fled and called for help, and then the roommate "comes after her and says, 'I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it,'" Sosa said.

1. Ban all knives
and require everyone to use foot freshener. Think of the children!

Seriously, I think people are stressed to the max these days and snapping right and left.

3. I think the key point was: "started drinking in their room."

Now, does anybody doubt that if they'd sparked up a blunt, they'd be doing anything other than laughing about stinky feet?

5. If the roommate had a knife, he could have defended himself.

Sorry, had to do it.

I'm a bad man.

2. For a little historical perspective...
This Texas outlaw shot a man to death just for snoring too loud:

We Texans are an ornery bunch, yes, but we're not all homicidal maniacs.

9. Ah, & I thought BREITBART couldn't sink lower than being Matt PUDGE's partner.
So much for the high brow father-in-law, Orson BEAN.

11. The guy with the stinky feet was probably a Republican.
All Republicans have stinky feet. Thats why they're the way they are.

STINKFOOT

In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
Under the water
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin'
By yer radio
Do the walls close in t' suffocate ya
You ain't got no friends . . .
An' all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been livin' gotta go, hmmm?
Well, lemme straighten you out
About a place I know . . .
(Get yer shoes 'n socks on people,
It's right aroun' the corner!)
Out through the night
An' the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary Diseases,
Out through the night
An' the whispering breezes
To the place where they keep
The Imaginary Diseases, mmm . . .

This has to be the disease for you
Now scientists call this disease
Bromidrosis
But us regular folks
Who might wear tennis shoes
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience
By the name of:
STINK FOOT
Y'know, my python boot is too tight
I couldn't get it off last night
A week went by, an' now it's July
I finally got it off
An' my girl-friend cry
"You got STINK FOOT!
STINK FOOT, darlin'
Your STINK FOOT puts a hurt on my nose!
STINK FOOT! STINK FOOT! I ain't lyin',
Can you rinse it off, d'you suppose?"


Hat off to the Meistro. I miss ya Frank!

15. I had a roommate like that for my first year of college
It really sucked. Fortunately the guy was into high energy physics, so all the ozone that his Jacob's ladder and Tesla coil generated covered the smell most of the time.
