MAN FIRES CORNCOBS AT NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

A 50-year-old Rhode Island man is charged with shooting corncobs at his neighbor’s house, which is up for sale. Jeffrey Osella of Westerly was arrested Tuesday night. Police say he answered his door shirtless and had corn kernels stuck to his chest. Police say Osella shot the corncobs using a potato gun made of PVC pipe and uses an accelerant such as hair spray that can be ignited. Osella and his neighbor have long-running disputes. Osella was charged with disorderly conduct and firing in a compact area.
* When caught, do you know what he said? “Shucks.”
* The house is up for sale, so I guess Jeffrey just wanted to get in a few more hits while there was still time.
* Corn kernels stuck to his chest? What, were there a couple of misfires?
* It could be worse. It could be winter with the guy shooting icicle missiles.
* We’ve had a lot of stories where food is used as a weapon, but this takes it to another level.
* What we had here was essentially a rocket propelled grenade where the grenade was a corncob.
* This isn’t “Children of the Corn”, this is “Immature 50-Year-Old of the Corn.”
* The neighbor says if Jeffrey doesn’t stop shooting corn, he’s gonna get creamed.
* The next step is when it escalates to a pumpkin catapult.
* This is so unnecessary. One drone could have settled the whole thing.
