Some Tennesseans have long held the view that Memphis isn’t really part of our state (except for that short time that they were the Titan’s temporary home) and this story isn’t helping change that view at all. I can come up with some pretty weird ideas at times, but I would never have been able to make up a story like this.

A troublesome trio of transvestites allegedly laid siege to a Memphis McDonald’s restaurant Sunday night, sparking a brawl with the restaurant’s crew, according to reports.

Police said they were working on a more detailed description of three men dressed in drag who came into a McDonald’s restaurant and started swinging.

To add insult to injury they interviewed an employee with a mastery of the English language, although judging from his name it might be impressive that his English isn’t any “worser” than it already is in his quote.

Restaurant employee Martez Brisco was working the drive-through window when he reportedly got into an argument with the suspects. When Brisco ignored them tapping at the window, they came in.

“They come to the window, ‘Tap, tap, tap.’ I’m still ignoring them,” Brisco told WMC-TV. “I guess that just pissed them off worser.”

Luckily the manager was willing to fight back and was smart enough to grab something that could actually cause some pain.

Bolton grabbed a pot of scalding french-fry grease and hurled it at his attackers. One of the cross-dressers then smacked Bolton with a wet floor sign, sending him to the hospital in an ambulance, WMC-TV reported.

Unfortunately he really sucks at hurling hot grease and is apparently 95 years old because a wet floor sign sent him to the hospital. Oh well, at least he tried instead of locking himself in his office like most managers would have probably done.
