What apparently began as a fight between Microsoft co-workers over a woman ended with one man being rushed into surgery and another arrested.

Just after 9:45 p.m. Friday night, Bellevue police received several 911 calls from people inside the Tap House Grill at the Bellevue Galleria Shopping Center, at 550 106th Ave. N.E., said police spokesman Michael Chiu. Callers reported a man had been stabbed, Chiu said.

Around the time the first calls came in, Officer Heather Black was driving on 106th Avenue Northeast and saw a man half-carrying another man on the sidewalk, Chiu said. Black pulled over and approached them.

A 25-year-old Bothell man was bleeding from a stab wound to the femoral artery in his upper left thigh, Chiu said. The man was taken to Bellevue's Overlake Hospital Medical Center, where he underwent surgery, he said.

You gotta do something to prove your manhood when you're surrounded by the words "micro" and "soft" all day.

Those guys don't get out enough.

"Maybe so, but I've got the bigger slide rule..."

Umm, some of those Microsoft employees make big money. Nothing says "I love you" like a thick wallet. However, more than likely the gal in question can stroke a keyboard like no other, and gives good IM.

It seems it was close to ctrl alt del

*chuckle*
"Oh no! She's incanted a frigid field!"
(Wouldn't that be 14th level Anti-Paladin instead?)

[N. Theknow]

Did he work in the mail room?

[Charles Martel]

Stabbed with what?

A protractor? Slide Ruler?

*sigh* - that's Slide Rule. No "r" on the end. :-)

This situation calls for some of Gary Larson's finest:

She wishes she could reach into her Handbag Of Holding and protect herself with a +4 Can of Mace.

[Revolting cat!]

The young lady in question was described as being 'mouse-y'!

[Rebelbase]

You are right, the penis what they want

[Rebelbase]

oops...pen is

[Darksheare]

LOL!
Maybe go postal around the office with the +3 Staff of Smiting after the Archmage announces during a meeting that everyone is taking a pay cut, but keep up the good henchwork.

Wonder if she wears the circular Rune of Male Warding?

[Darksheare]

Now WHY am I hearing that quote from the flying stone heads in that movie Zardoz?

[11th Earl of Mar]

Funny, I was debating whether there was an 'r' at the end of slide rule.

I guess I am not geeky enough to know.

[Professional Engineer]

I was just about to ping you. LOL

stab wound to the femoral artery in his upper left thigh,

Note the location of the wound. He wasn't aiming for the heart.

My son needs a job. Can my son have the arrested person's job?

[Junior]

I guess the $12,000 he spent to finish his girl robot were wasted...
