I was reminded about the 1990s commercial about Grey Poupon this morning while reading a short online crime article from a newspaper in Utah. In Murray, where David Archuleta is from, three people thought it would be funny to get a man to unroll his car window at an intersection and ask him, "Excuse me, sir, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
No, the man pulled a gun, cocked it and said something like, "I've got your Grey Poupon right here!"
It was a bad move because the people who wanted Grey Poupon wrote down his license plate number and the man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, a third degree felony.
The group must have been stunned as the man reached for his glove compartment. Would he be pulling this out?

Anyway, I share this information in a post to warn kids who think it is just good, clean fun to ask that question. Warning: it could be really dangerous.

It is a shame that you cannot talk to someone without feeling threatened. When I was younger I was very open and helpful if someone appeared to be in need. Now if I see someone on the side of the road needing assistance (minor) I just drive on by. No way will I pick up a hitchhiker.
I have some stone ground mustard.

Thanks for the tomatoes and peppers.

Those kids mustard up the courage to ask,. the guy should have been nicer.
