LATEST FOOD TO PROVOKE SHOOTING: YAMS

In Florida (natch), a man at a suburban West Palm Beach house party noticed some yams growing along the fence. Curious how big they were, the 47-year-old started to dig up a few. Then Jeromey McCook, 32, approached him and told him to stop. The pair began to argue. McCook pulled out a gun, hit the man over the head with it and then shot at him. The man hosting the party told investigators he heard the argument, but tried to pay no attention and continue cooking. The next thing he knew, McCook was pointing a gun at the man who was digging up yams. The injured man said after McCook hit him over the head with the gun, he pointed between his legs and then fired his weapon, not hitting him. McCook is being held on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm during a felony and discharging a firearm in public.
* Pointing your weapon between a man’s legs? That’s just mean.
* He almost got hit in his sweet potatoes.
* It sounds stupid, but you have to understand, there were really, REALLY nice yams.
* I can tell the man how big the yams were. Big enough to be shot over. That’s how big they were.
* Sometimes you’re curious about something but then you just let it go.
* This is almost as dumb as OJ’s memorabilia crime that got him the 33-year sentence in Vegas.
* Here’s the difference: If this Jeromey McCook clown had been acquitted of killing two people, and STILL did this, well, then he’d be as dumb as O.J.
