A man wanted just two slices of cheese on his sandwich, so when his wife used three slices in his grilled cheese sandwich, he became irate.

Angered at the sight of all the extra cheesiness, James DePaola became agitated and violent, yelling at the woman, Michele DePaola. According to WSB-TV, DePaola then ripped the landline out of the wall so his wife couldn’t call the police and reportedly screamed at her intensely. The couple’s 12-year old daughter who witnessed the incident called the police to the scene, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

James DePaola was charged with obstruction of a 911 call and criminal trespass/damage to property over what the police now refer to as “the grilled cheese incident”. DePaola has a history of “abusive behavior,” and was often “excessively critical and controlling of day to day things in life” like sandwiches, apparently.

How the hell can a grilled cheese sandwich be too cheesy? Was it just cheese? Like no bread, but just cheese? Because even that doesn't seem like too much cheese to me.

No. Two pieces of thick cut texas toast, fried one side each in the fat of two pieces of bacon, which are then inserted with jalapenos and a lot real good swiss type cheese, the fried sides to the inside, and fried till done both sides. Also paint the bread with mayonnaise and garlic before you start, both sides.

I was about to double down on my smart ass remark but that actually does sound good

Oh it is. People pay me 15 for them.

If you're ever at a decent greek restaurant get the saganaki. It's a salty fried sheep cheese and it's one of the most glorious things to exist.

Exactly correct. DePaola is probably not human.
