Man Allegedly Throws ‘Large Pickle’ Out Window in Vermont, Hurting Worker
NECN ^ | June 2, 2020

A Massachusetts man is likely feeling more sour than sweet after being charged with assault for throwing a pickle out of his car window, hitting a state employee who was working on the road.

Vermont State police said Christoph Herrmannsdoerfer of Williamstown, Massachusetts was driving on Route 7 in Pownal on Monday when he threw a large pickle out of his window.

That pickle happened to hit an Agency of Transportation employee, Carl Hoffman, who was working a detail near the border with Massachusetts, "causing him pain," according to authorities.

Troopers were given a description of the vehicle and the suspect by the Agency of Transportation supervisor on the scene at the time of the incident.

Authorities eventually located Herrmannsdoerfer, who was issued a citation to appear before the Bennington County Superior Court on July 20 to answer to the charges of simple assault.

Troopers were assisted by the Williamstown Police Department in Massachusetts throughout the incident.

Heheh, it reminds me of that old joke:

An old man walks into a pub in Scotland, his feet shuffling, his back bent. He drags himself onto a stool and orders a beer. Placing the full glass in front of him, the bartender inquires upon his sad face.

The man answers with a smoky and trembling voice and a Scottish accent: Ah, tell ya man! This pub, this very pub we're just sitting in. I built it, with me own hands! But do they call me the Pubmaker? Naa!

See the wall over there, that protects our town? I built it, with me own hands! But do they call me the Wallmaker?

And the bridge, you know, that crosses our river, I built it, with me own hands! But do they call me the Bridgemaker?

But I tell ya, man! YOU F**K ONE GOAT!

Was it an entire pickle, or only a pickle slice?

I hate when they put a slice of pickle on my 99 cent McBurger. I’ll usually throw it out the window, and I figure it will biodegrade.

In the future I will be VERY CAREFUL where I put my pickle.

Do you want the Vermont State Police to go throw down with rioters in other states? They can only handle what’s happening in their jurisdiction, which in this case happens to be a pickle-wielding Massachusettsan who appears to have a bone to pick with highway workers.

Incidentally, it appears that there have been some marches/protests and a few violent flare-ups in Vermont, but nothing compared to many other states.

I think the crucial question is whether it was sweet or dill.

The REAL question is...was he wearing his mask in his car when he threw the pickle?

Was it a kosher pickle? The guy will probably sue Vlasic.

Throwing pickles at workers is definitely not Kosher.

Williamstown MA is in the NW corner, college town, and Pownal is just north of there across the boder. Bennington a bit further on US7
