When it comes to getting drunk food after a night on the town, there are some rules of the queue that apply no matter how plastered you are when you line up for whatever gut garbage you want to eat before passing out. Among them: no barfing, hands to yourself, and absolutely no cutting (of any sort).Apparently nobody told that to the dude who cut in line at a Washington, DC "jumbo slice" pizza joint early Sunday morning and then stabbed a guy who objected to being skipped.According to the local blog Borderstan, police say that the cutter in question—one Jose Nelson Melendez Rodriguez—jumped the line at Jumbo Pizza on DC's designated college kid rage-road, U Street, around 4 AM. After an argument ensued, Rodriguez and the man he "cut" went outside, where Rodriguez allegedly grabbed a blade from his backpack and actually cut the victim. Understandably enraged, the victim then pummeled Rodriguez unconscious.That could have been the end of it, but then one of the victim's friends allegedly kicked Rodriguez in the head as he lay unconscious. Cops showed up and arrested Rodriguez for assault with a deadly weapon while the victim's friend, Justin Anthony McKinney, was charged with aggravated assault. The stabbing victim was taken to the hospital with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening.All of this for a comically large piece of greasy pizza.Let this tragic incident serve as a lesson to those who would behave badly in the hopes of getting drunk food faster: Nothing good comes from cutting in line. In the end, it's just pizza, and there's enough for everybody. Better to wait 30 seconds longer for a piece than to end your night with a knife wound.
