TAMPA - A Tampa woman bit off another woman's fingertip during an argument at a Tampa meat market.

Police say two women were waiting to be served Monday when they began arguing about who was next in line.

Customers take a number to order when they enter the market, but another customer who left before ordering had given Pamela Bumpers her number.

State of insanity? Or perhaps as one comment offered: "She obviously couldn't wait any longer for fresh meat"...

Yeah, I live here. Land of the "Butterfly Ballot"...

I'd like a box of ladyfingers...Oooooh - Fresh!

Offered for your culinary amusement...

Some of the weirdest news seems to be coming out of Florida lately. What’s up with that?

I think it’s the rain - it’s been raining here really hard every day now ... I bet this lady just couldn’t take it anymore ...

Makes sense in these times of rises food prices. Why pay for meat when you can get some for free from another customer?

Like California we here in Florida get an awful lot of transients and crazies leaving places where they just don’t fit in.
Throw in a ready supply diversity like you rarely see in the rest of the country and there ya have it.

A little thinning of the herd ?

I saw a bouncer clamp down on a guy’s finger once. The guy was unruly, wouldn’t leave and was wagging and pointing...the guy reached out and clamped down. Got his attention really quickly.

I suspect someone was up in someone’s face...who doesn’t want to reach out for a little snack.

Talk about having your thumb on the scale...

Florida is literally America’s trailer park. From the octogenarians to the beach bums, it has a largely non native population escaping somewhere else.

Somebody needs to get medieval on this piece of pond scum. What da ya say, five fingernails for a fingertip? Sounds fair to me.

Must be outstanding meat at this market.

I understand they have a sign outside that says: “You can’t beat our meat!”

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I thought so.

[geezerwheezer]

Must have been “munch time” at the ol’ meat market!

Kind of like that water torture thing. Just got the best of her.

I wonder how many displaced Katrina victims Florida has gotten. I hate to sound like I am blaming everything on Katrina and the influx of refugees, but crime all over Louisiana seems to have gone up since Katrina.
