Have you ever been fired from a job? It's a horrible experience, I'm sure, but no matter what you might want to do, I bet you never challenged your boss to a duel with a meat cleaver.
That's what a Chinese cook in Dumbarton, Scotland did upon being fired this week. Unfortunately, he also threatened to chop his boss up and said that he had already done that to someone else, so he had to be taken into custody be the authorities. The cook was fired because he couldn't produce a work permit, and was sentenced to seven months in jail.
I can imagine that you might think crazy things if you were to be fired, but to actually threaten your ex boss is taking things a little too far. To actually brandish a weapon at him or her is definitely a sign of instability. While I feel bad for anyone who gets let go, let's just try to remember that getting fired is not worth going to jail for.

No, I haven't challenged my boss to a meat cleaver duel. But he has been acting a bit uppity lately so perhaps I should.
