Let this be a lesson to us all --when you come to a fork in the road, don't try to use it as a weapon.

Mo and Tommy"s dispute was set to be handled accordingly, in the roadway on Rowan Road in eastern Iredell County.

But one man brought a BBQ fork to a fistfight, and now both are facing charges, according to an Iredell County Sheriff's Office press release.

Here's what happened, according to the release:

According to the article, England was the initiator with the brick and the perp with the fork and poor old "Mo" gets the worst of the deal.
