“What Were They Thinking??” Department
Fans of “Breaking Bad” (I am) will get a shock of recognition reading the following news item, from a couple weeks ago:
An ill-conceived effort to get rid of a pesky bird at a cookie factory with a dose of bird shot backfired when a worker at a dough machine was hit by a stray pellet.
–“A bird in a cookie factory leads to shots, trip to court” (Star Tribune; 2/8/11)
Substitute “meth lab” for “cookie factory” and “house fly” for “bird,” and you have in a nutshell the plot of one of the weirder (and more inspired) “Breaking Bad” episodes.
Can you say, “truth is stranger than fiction?”
