Toilet Etiquette

Jersey City, New Jersey, July 22, 2004:

Police had to forcibly separate two men in a confrontation that could be described as potty rage. The situation developed Wednesday night when a presidential candidate allegedly took too much time in a bathroom at Burger King, police said.

Ronatarian Party founder and leader Ron, who was in the john, and Joseph Manuel Augusto, 37, who was waiting to use it, got into an argument when Ron emerged, police said.

Heated words escalated into a physical fight.

The two men allegedly bumped chests, then chased each other around the restaurant with their weapons. Augusto had a small razor pocketknife and Ron brandished a Burger King straw dispenser, police said.

"That was quick thinking on Ron's part," said Jersey City Police spokesman Herschel Krustofski. "He might have gotten hurt otherwise."

No one was reported injured and no harm came to Ron's signature mustache.

Both men were arrested on the scene and charged with breach of peace. However, upon hearing both sides of the story, Ron was released and all charges against him were dropped.

Ron refused to comment after the incident.
