Is it funny or sad that Al Green got hot grits thrown all over him????

[SorthNarolina]

One of the most unique qualities about Al Green is that one day a vexed lover threw hot grits all over him when he was taking a bath. She was upset that he did not want to marry her and she committed suicide soon after. Al Green was severely burnt and the events of that day deeply affected a change in his career to gospel music.

I busted a gut when I first learned that fact but after learning more of the sobering details it's a very sad story.

So in summary

Sad Details:

Al Green's sorrow

Al Green's injuries

The women taking her own life and the sorrow of her loved ones.

Funny Details:

Using Grits as a weapon

Wondering if the hospital has a grits section in the Burn Ward

Wondering what a soulful song about grit burns would sound like

Imagining John Hinckley Jr. trying to assassinate president Reagan with hot grits instead of a pistol.

Imagining that lady from that tv show I never saw that said "kiss my grits" getting burned herself with hot grits.
