Palm Frond Used As Weapon In 'Most Bizarre' Robbery

"(The plant) was sharp," said the clerk.

(This one is kind of a giveaway in Guess The State points.)

...Creative. I guess so. And, speaking for the man he robbed, I doubt he felt it was worth getting poked with what was essentially a point-ed stick.

Not really a giveaway... I slashed the shit out of myself just this evening carrying palm fronds from our backyard, and IIRC you include Texas in these sometimes...

That said, it'd be the equivalent of robbing someone with a paring knife. Sharp? Yes. A threat? Not so much. Kudos to the guy who clobbered him with the barstool.

Florida, but mostly because someone on my F-list from there mentioned it. Lots of warm states have palm trees though...

Thos suckers are SHARP, but yeah, not much worse than a knife.

A police official said the leaves of the Spanish bayonet are like knives and that people often plant them under windows to stop break-ins.
