A sneeze too many

Police in western Germany were called to a city church on Friday after two women began fighting outside because one of them could not stand the other’s incessant sneezing during a service.

A 28-year-old woman began insulting another woman whose cold could not be controlled at the church in Kaiserslautern, city police said.

The second then exposed her buttocks to her accuser, despite her illness, and the two eventually came to grips outside.

Witnesses at the scene pulled the two apart.

The woman with the cold received a minor eye injury in the fracas. — Sapa-AFP
