Is Sammy Sosa Turning White?
James Plante Jr., 39, has been charged with felonious robbery and attempted robbery for holding up a Hammond, Indiana bar this weekend not with a gun, not with a knife, but with a cheese grater.
[A bar] patron realized Plante didn't have a gun and used a bar stool to push him out of the bar, court records state. Plante fled, dropping a cheese grater on the ground, court records allege.
NBC already used a gouda line ("Not a 'Gouda' Idea"), and commenters from the Times did a pretty solid job with the jokes, too ("did he act provALONE or were there accomplices?"). Heh.

"Give me the money or I'll cut the cheese".
"Cheese." "Grater." "Stool."
I recommend raising the groan-producing-joke warning to Orange. No, make that Red.
Hammond, Indiana, well that explains it
It was a HAMmond Cheese Robbery
Another sign of the wonderful economy, con's can't afford guns, knifes, and shanks.
This reminds me of the footage of a robber brandishing a palm tree branch.
Holy moly, 10 points for Kfunk.
When he gets to prison, he's just going to start planning his grate escape.
