Pizza for Peace, man . . . .

.

Our British cousins at the BBC bring us this story from our mutual cousins down under:
A two-day prison siege in Australia has ended after inmates agreed to exchange their hostage for a delivery of pizzas.
It seems a group of 20 inmates at a maximum security institution took hostages on Saturday (a guard and "other prisoners" [during the war, we were ALL Swiss]).


To make a long story short, they traded the guard for the delivery of 15 pizzas. While they had initially issued a list of 24 demands,

Once the inmates . . . had eaten their fill, they let the other hostages go.
Completely understandable.
There are few things I would not do for 15 pizzas.
