Food is essential to life, that’s for sure, but it’s certainly not reason enough to take a life. This is especially true for crappy carnival foods, like corn dogs.

However, a Florida man is in jail for stabbing his roommate to death over a missing corn dog. Police say  Corey Lamont Walker, 36, admitted to murdering his roommate, Anthony Kimball Smith, with a butcher knife when his carnival c**p dog came up missing,  Broward-Palm Beach New Times reports.

“It’s hard to imagine someone taking a life over something so trivial,” police spokesman Mike Puetz said.

The two roommates were living in a transitional living facility with four other roommates at the time of the attack. Another roommate at the facility called police and told them there’d been a stabbing over some corn dogs.

“It appears that somebody pilfered a corn dog from him,” Puetz added. “He was the only one there with corn dogs.”
