'With a stop light, green means 'go' and yellow means 'slow down'. With a banana, however, it is quite the opposite. Yellow means 'go', green means 'whoa, slow down', and red means 'where the heck did you get that banana?''"

Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen - Yahoo! News

Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen - Yahoo! News

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Health officials shut down a suburban Buffalo restaurant after an inspector found employees butchering a dead deer inside the business. Erie County Health Department officials said they got a tip Friday about a dead deer in the China King restaurant in the town of Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.

An inspector soon arrived and saw the deer being butchered in the kitchen.

State health laws prohibit butchering an animal inside a restaurant.

Officials don't know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle. They said there was no indication the deer meat was served to any customers.

The message on the restaurant's answering machine Monday says it was closed because of "family emergencies."

----------------

No way will they allow fresh deer meat to be served to customers. That would be terrible.

Al Sharpton

http://www.amny.com/news/local/crime/ny-nysharpton1009,0,2134185.story

Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen issued the verdict on Wednesday. He sentenced the defendants to time already served -- in Sharpton's case, five hours -- and ordered each to pay a court surcharge of $95."I am of course sympathetic to the underlying issues which gave rise to the protests and demonstrations on May 7," Stephen said. He said he believed the demonstrators acted for reasons of conscience but they broke the law."If you decide to take a bullet for the team, you should not complain about the consequences that flow from that," the judge said.
