bulls and china shops

May 26, 2003

A bull in a china shop really is a very bad thing, as it turns out.

BBC NEWS | UK | England | Lancashire | Bull on antique rampage: An escaped bull has been shot by police marksmen after it ran amok in a Lancashire antiques shop. The rampaging animal injured a woman and destroyed several valuable items at G and B Antiques and Furnishings in Lancaster. The bull had made its way to the store after escaping from a local auction mart, a police spokesman said. It knocked over a woman who was taken to hospital with a bruised shoulder, though she was later discharged after treatment.

Not often that an aphorism comes to life, is it?
