I like to imagine that's what German president Horst Kohler said to Lee Myung-bak at their recent meeting in the Blue House. Hm, let's make this a caption contest. You've got my entry - come up with something better.

Kind of a dog bites man story, I guess.

The Sasang police station in Busan applied for an arrest warrant for 34-year-old 보도방 owner Mr. Lee on charges of angrily swinging a deadly weapon at a female employee on the 8th.

 According to police, at approximately 12:30 pm on the 7th in the Sasang-gu home of 21-year-old employee Ms. Jang, Mr. Lee struck her on the forehead and seriously wounded 21-year old Ms. Choi with a deadly weapon when she told him to stop.

The police investigation determined that Mr. Lee had argued by telephone with the female employee Ms. Jang and then committed the crime.
