The Olive Garden: Now with unlimited salad, breadsticks AND a free beat-down!

Not as sweet as he looks

A man, who must have been irritable after stuffing himself with a plate full of five-cheese ziti, was arrested after attacking another man at an Olive Garden in — where else? — Florida.

Apparently, 36-year-old Paul Blankfield was not pleased about some noisy kids at a nearby table.  Instead of handling the situation constructively and simply throwing breadsticks at the backs of their heads, Pauly confronted their father and, um, punched him in the neck.

The Olive Garden:  “When you’re here, you’re dysfunctional family.”

Police say ol’ Paul told them he did this because the man’s autistic child had disturbed his dining experience.

Seems like a reasonable way to handle the situation.  Next time the Olive Garden skimps on the croutons in my salad, I’m going to kick the server in the shin!
