CHOCOLATE FACTORY WORKER PHONES IN BOMB THREAT TO GET FIRED

A Vermont chocolate factory worker hated his job and wanted to get fired, so he did the first thing that came to mind: He called in a bomb threat. Police say 22-year-old Kristofer Pregent stole a co-worker’s cellphone and made the false threat under a different worker’s name Monday night at the Barry Callebaut chocolate factory in St. Albans, Vermont. Police soon unraveled his clever plan. He told officers he was unhappy with his job and wanted out. Pregent was charged with false public alarm, petit larceny and unlawful mischief. And – he was fired, so it worked.
* Ah, a bittersweet ending.
* They asked him, why didn’t he just quit, and he said, “I can do that?”
* Maybe the cocoa made him cuckoo.
* In this case the evil twin defense would have been a step up.
* A bombing at a chocolate factory? You have to admit that would be one delicious explosion.
* I remember when I used to try and make sense out of people’s motives. That was a long time ago.
* It’s frustrating. I can think of so many easier more fun ways to get fired.
* Start by attending the next employee meeting naked.
