Its an Iowan Joke Come True

AP: Iowa City Police: Man Punches Another Man Who he Calls a 'Zombie':

"Police say the assault occurred at 1:17 a.m. Sunday at an Iowa City restaurant south of the University of Iowa campus.
A man was ordering food when he was approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye. When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose."

now the article doesn't say it ... but I'm guessing there was some alcohol involved on the attackers part.

Let's just be thankful he hadn't been watching 'Buffy" or "The Vampire's Assistant" just before the attack!

This is why MN has so many IA jokes ...
