Inconvenient whistling

22 Oct 2010 - Only in the United States of America, where people can be sued for, well, almost nothing. A man is facing an assault charge for hitting a town hall custodian on the back of the head with a roll of toilet paper, because he was angry the cleaning man was whistling while he worked. Police in Framingham, in the US state of Massachusetts, say Allen Kerner, 55, was in the town hall using the bathroom while the custodian whistled as he replenished toilet rolls. The custodian told police he was in a stall when he was struck. Kerner yelled at him and fled, but he was caught outside. There are probably more serious assaults than being hit on the head with a roll of toilet paper, but with a bit luck the whistling cleaning man walks out with a couple of hundreds of thousands.
