LINDSAY, Ontario – A Canadian couple faces domestic assault charges after attacking each other with chips and dip after apparently fighting over the last beer.

Police in Lindsay, Ontario, say they were called early Friday to a home where there had been 15 previously documented domestic disputes.

When officers arrived, they found both people covered in chips and dip.

A 39-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman face charges of domestic-related assault and will appear in court March 28. Their names were not released.

First of all, isn't being covered in chips and dip really just a first step to some kinky hanky-panky? And as there have been other disturbances at this location, what form did the other altercations take? Guacamole and tortilla chips? Jalapenos and pico de gallo? Soft flour taco shells and mole? Under close examination, this seems to resemble less a domestic-related assault than a party well in progress with the potential to lead to either some tasty tacos al pastor, or at least some well greased sexual unions. Help me out here...how were prospects for a peaceful resolution enhanced by the draconian involvement of police, unless they were already equipped by tactical sour cream dispersant devices and restraining oils. The potential for damage seems to have been inherently self-limiting and I'm fairly miffed at being denied an opportunity to engage in a peace-keeping role in this melee myself! I'd submit that the introduction of more and gooey foodstuffs would have helped lower the threshold of violence and given participants a taste of meaningful justice, what with force being judiciously applied via handcuffs, rubber gloves and soft plastic spatulas.
