BERLIN (Reuters) -

A man who mistook a salami for an automatic pistol triggered a major police operation on Friday in southern Germany, involving 10 police cars and a helicopter.

The man alerted police that he had seen three men handling a gun in a car at a motorway service area. Police cars, dogs and a helicopter chased the car and held up the men, only to identify the "weapon" as a salami.

"Behind the dirty windows of the car, the man had mistaken the salami for a gun," a police spokesman in Traunstein said. "The men in the car had probably passed the sausage through the car."

The salami was returned to its owners, he said.

Oh for God's sake!

How can some people even manage to get out of bed and function without being scared to death by the fluttering of a birds wing or seeing a bug on the sidewalk?

I'd put myself out of everyone's misery if I ever got to the point in my miserable existance if I became *that* flipping paranoid.

There, there good sheeple citizen. The (fill in the blank) will protect you.
