Greek police smash violent doughnut ring

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — It took an undercover operation, but Greek police have blown a hole in a ring of alleged crooks who had cornered the doughnut market in a beach resort.

It started with complaints that two Bulgarian men and a former Greek wrestling champion were using violence to choke off the trade by other doughnut vendors on Paliouri beach in the Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki.

So an undercover officer posed as a doughnut seller, police said Tuesday, and he was attacked, leading to the arrest of the three aggressive doughnut sellers.

Doughnuts are a long way from the spears of Sparta. Then again, they'd make a tasty decoration when skewered by the spears.

Funny! Every time I think of doughnuts and consulting work, I think back on the times that I'd show up in the guard-house or control rooms of a mill that I was consulting for in south Georgia. So many times, there were doughnuts out and available, thanks to sales-people, consultants, etc. All through the summer season, I'd go into work just a bit late, so I could stop at a peach orchard near Dothan and pick up bags of fresh tree-ripened peaches. Those never lasted more than a minute! The ones that didn't get grabbed for immediate consumption were stuffed into lunch-boxes, etc for later. It was odd. My wife asked me why were the workers so excited about the fresh peaches when they lived right there in peach-growing country, and I couldn't give her a good answer. If I brought in a couple of boxes of doughnuts, some might still be there by lunch-time. Not so for the peaches - they would be gone.
