PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A man was shot after an apparent argument over fast food in the city’s Northern Liberties section early Monday morning.

The two men were in a parked car near the intersection of 2nd and Callowhill Streets, eating fast food when an argument broke out over french fries, according to police.

The two men got out of the car, started fighting, and investigators say that’s when one of them pulled a gun and shot the other.

The victim was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital in critical condition.

Witnesses tell police the shooter drove off in a silver Mercedes. The hunt continues for that car.

No word on what started the argument over the fries.

Mayor McCheese needs to send over Officer Big Mac and the Fry Guys and round up that shooter for some McJailtime.

It wasn’t the fries so much as the principle that was at stake.

One was short a fry in his happy meal, and the other happened to say something about it.

When Cambel’s was advertising “sea salt” soup, with less sodium, I had a math momment - WTFO? How do you get NaCl with less Na?

I looked it up. Lead.

We have taken the lead out of our gas, and put it in the soup...

Beats saltpeter (KNO3), I guess.

Not really.

Police are also searching for a man named Clemenza who was overheard telling the shooter: “Leave the gun.....take the french fries.”
