MONOPOLY GAME ENDS IN SAMURAI SWORD FIGHT

In Brussels, Belgium, four people were playing Monopoly on the pavement in front of a house at 5 a.m., disturbing the owner, who came out to shoo them away from his house. After an argument, the owner’s son came out to defend his father, armed with a samurai sword. Both the son and one of the Monopoly players were injured in the ensuing fight, and both had to be taken to a hospital, without passing Go or collecting $200.
* Sadly, no one had a Get Out of the ICU Free card.
* I never realized roaming gangs of board game enthusiasts was such a problem in Europe.
* If that was anything like the way we used to play Monopoly, those guys got off easy.
* At what point in history did samurai warriors land in Belgium?
* The Monopoly players should have known there’d be Trouble. There was a Risk, but they had no Clue. Someone lost their Marbles and – bam! – right in the Cranium. They fell like Dominoes. At the hospital, they were given an Operation.
