Free fugu?

Fresh fugu (puffer fish) from a fully licensed place like this one in Tokyo will probably be a bit pricey.

However, for this famously poisonous fish, qualifications really do count, and the cost of improper preparation can end up being far higher than a fancy meal out. Something a 60-year-old man from Hiroshima sadly found out far too late, after his home-cooked dinner came back to haunt him — quite literally.

Although his wife, who was either lucky or simply didn’t like the look of it, survived.

    Anyone stupid enough to settle for bargain fugu deserves what they get.

    I have zero sympathy for this shithead.
