LAS VEGAS - A brawl broke out in a Las Vegas bar this week
when a short person dressed in an Oompa Loompa costume
took offense at being called a midget. Wee Matt and another
short person hired as entertainment were turfed from the
Hogs and Heifers Saloon Monday after Wee Matt allegedly
punched the patron who called him a midget, the Las Vegas
Review-Journal reported Wednesday. Bar owner Michelle Dell
said the 4-foot-2, 80-pounder "started swinging and spit
on the guy and had to be pulled away" by a member of her
security staff. The pair of Oompa Loompas allegedly had
been downing shots of tequila prior to the incident.
"Roald Dahl would be horrified!" said Dell, referring to
the author of the book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,"
in which Oompa Loompas are characters. It could be argued
there are at least two morals to this real-life story:
"Don't call an Oompa Loompa a midget" and "Don't serve an
Oompa Loompa shots of tequila."
