Officer Involved Shooting

SAN DIEGO, CA - Authorities are investigating an officer involved shooting that left one person dead and several others injured early Monday morning. Officer were called to a disturbance at a club in the Gas Lamp Quarter around 1:40am. When they arrived at the Blue Tattoo at 835 5th Avenue, officers were confronted by a man armed with a handgun. An alliteration took place and the man was shot by police. Investigators are looking into the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting.

Whattya think -- rhyming slang with lethal force? Overdose of consonants? Too many sibilants? Or may the suspect was seen carrying a bunch of suspicious looking vowels that turned out to be unpaid for? Meanwhile, up the coast a couple of miles at the airport:

SAN DIEGO, CA - The first direct flight from England to San Diego came into Lindbergh Field Sunday, and that meant local officials began checking passengers for foot and mouth disease. Passengers on the British Airways flight were questioned and had their luggage inspected.

Y'know, those limeys do all kinds of weird things with vowels. Better we should stop them at the border before they start putting their feet in their mouths. Is it just me or didn't it used to be called hoof-and-mouth?

Regards,
