More than pork fried rice was on the menu at one Chinese restaurant when one worker attacked another with a cleaver, according to the Associated Press.

Restaurant worker hospitalized after kitchen fight, The Associated Press

PALO ALTO, Calif. — An employee of a Palo Alto Chinese restaurant is hospitalized and a second employee on the run from the police after a kitchen scuffle turned violent.

Palo Alto police say during the scuffle Wednesday evening one man suffered wounds to the face and torso after being attacked by a second man with a cleaver in the kitchen of the Jade Palace restaurant. Read story: www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/294775.php

Like in the story about the 2-year-old shooting and killing her 3-year-old brother, a rule or two of common sense may have avoided this incident altogether:

1. Don’t get in a fight with anyone who is wielding a cleaver.

2. Don’t get in a fight with anyone in a kitchen. From the blender to the shish kabob skewer, there are way too many weapons in there.

Did either of you end up in the hospital?
