Posted - February 09 2003 : 2:50:25 PM Wurst-Case Scenario Causes Police Alert Fri Jan 31,11:49 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! BERLIN (Reuters) - A man who mistook a salami for an automatic pistol triggered a major police operation on Friday in southern Germany, involving 10 police cars and a helicopter.
The man alerted police that he had seen three men handling a gun in a car at a motorway service area. Police cars, dogs and a helicopter chased the car and held up the men, only to identify the "weapon" as a salami.
"Behind the dirty windows of the car, the man had mistaken the salami for a gun," a police spokesman in Traunstein said. "The men in the car had probably passed the sausage through the car."
The salami was returned to its owners, he said. |

Posted - February 09 2003 : 7:17:08 PM Another version of the story I saw suggested that several motorists had reported this, feeling that the object had been pointed at them by the car's occupants.
I guess this comes back to that basic safety rule:
Never point your salami at anything you don't intend to use it on. |
