Costco Removes Tomatoes In Anticipation Of Palin Visit

Once upon a time a very long time ago (last week), a man attempted to throw a tomato at Sarah Palin and missed. The Salt Lake City Costco, determined not to allow the greatest possible attempted horror in world history to repeat itself on Costco premises, reportedly took all of its tomatoes of its shelves during Sarah Palin's recent book-signing visit. And thank goodness the brave management of this Costco ordered this smart and prescient action, because everybody knows that tomatoes are the only food item ever to be used as a projectile.
