He is the Pusher Robot...

A MAN who stuffed a bacon roll in the mouth of a garage manager before punching him has escaped a jail sentence.
Andre Cartwright, 36, had drunk 1.5 litres of vodka and a litre of Jack Daniels whiskey the night before he shoved the sandwich into the mouth of Peter Dodd, a court was told.
Redhill magistrates heard on Thursday last week that Cartwright carried out the unexpected attack on Mr Dodd after entering Tadworth Tyres,in Shelvers Hill, on August 19 and asking for the manager.
Leila Kessler, prosecuting, said that just beforehand Cartwright had bought the bacon roll from Munchies cafe on the same road.
Miss Kessler told the court Mr Dodd, the garage manager, was confronted by Cartwright in his office.
She said: "Mr Dodd asked him to leave, but the man started shouting and swearing at him. So he took him by the arm and again asked to him to leave, as he was concerned about customers and staff.
"The man then pushed a bacon roll in his mouth. Cartwright then punched him in the cheek with his fist and Mr Dodd fell into some tyres which were stacked up."
Mr Dodd was left with a split lip as a result, but he managed to hit Cartwright back before he left.
Richard Barnett, defending, said that Cartwright had made full admissions to the police and had not tried to justify his actions.
He said: "His only explanation is that he had drunk far too much.
"Looking at his previous convictions you will see a series of offences, because he had a problem with drugs and alcohol. That has been halted, but there are occasional lapses and this was one of them."
Mr Barnett said Cartwright, of Penrose Drive, Epsom, had since managed to turn his life around and that he was making good progress.
Magistrates said the incident was an unprovoked attack and ordered Cartwright to complete 180 hours' unpaid work in the community and forced him to pay £100 compensation to Mr Dodd.

bacon ping
The UK's non-enforcement of its laws is slowly, but surely killing the once great country.
Interesting use of tenses.
No idea what the heck a "bacon roll" is, but it sounds tasty.
My sainted aunt's grape juice! How was he able to stay upright much less mobile?
He is the Pusher Robot...
I hope it was a mooselimb!
Pig knuckle sandwich?
Lightweight. (although I would not have attempted to go to work the next day, yet alone order a bacon roll for breakfast.)
Pig AND a poke...
Most likely, he hadn't been to bed yet. No way could a person get out of bed and eat something called a "bacon roll" after drinking that much booze.
The alcohol content of that much hard liquor is equivalent to about 3 1/2 cases of beer, so I have to question the accuracy of that estimate. He'd have been in a coma or dead, unless he spread the consumption out over many hours.
That must have been the lawyer's estimate. Wonder what his BAC was when he was arrested?
Prime suspect in a string of aspirin robberies.
Maybe those hors d'oeuvre things with the bacon wrapped around a water chestnut?
"When bacon-rolls attack" ping!
