Friends, Romans, Countrymen!
One of the men referred to one of the women, Anna Godfrey, 21, as "fat". Godfrey didn't take well to the insult: she allegedly chased him down, tackled him, and bit a 1/2 by 3/4" chunk out of his ear.
And apparently she ate it: police said the missing ear chunk wasn't found at the scene.
Christian Bandiola, 24, will need plastic surgery to repair his ear.
Godfrey was charged with felony assault.
No, no jokes here -- ears are appropriately low in fat.

11:00 a.m. Update!
In an update aired last night (after we wrote this story) in an on-camera interview with WOWT-TV in Omaha, Anna Godfrey spoke out, saying that the incident is a case of self defense, and didn't happen because Bandiola called her fat.
"He called me banana or like a fat banana or something," Godfrey says. "I'm just like, 'my name is Anna'."
The party was at a friend's house, she says, and Bandiola wouldn't leave. After he finally did, he came back -- and fought with her, and got her into a choke hold. Biting him was her only option, she says.
"I feel bad that I bit his ear off because that was not my intention at all. I was just trying to get him off of me. Either I bite him and he lets go of me, or he kept me in a choke hold and I passed out."
She says she didn't eat the ear: "I spit it out. They all think a squirrel took it."

I heard about this the next day on the radio, but this is the first place I saw the follow-up article. Thanks for bringing us "the rest of the story" Randy.

When Marc Antony asked the to lend him their ears, I think his intent was to return them.
Good thing I won't be on that jury. Ears don't just tear off from a bite unless the teeth are literally razor sharp. Even a sharp knife would more likely leave lacerations and some tearing.
Carnivorous squirrels, eh? Is that like (former President) Jimmy Carter's killer rabbit that attacked his boat?
