Crawling Businessman Robot Is a Critique On Japanese Salarymen

The spat ended the way most fights with SI girls do. The SI woman grabbed the Boonton woman by the hair (we're told that in Staten Island, this is the female equivalent of a guy kicking another guy in the groin only without the warm and friendly connotations), and began punching her face in. We realize, so far, this is not exactly newsworthy. Journalistically speaking, "SI woman punches other woman" is right up there with "Dog bites man." But here's the twist: As the Staten Island girl was pummeling the Boonton girl's face, she used the hand she was still holding her drink glass in. Now, we're not sure if the glass was stuck to her hand cause of all the hair spray or if this is a technique Staten Island girls learn in Brownies, but we are thankful she left her brass knuckles and straight razor in her other purse.
