He Kicked Them In The Pickles — Get It? “Pickles” . . .

What kind of idiot tries to rob a pickle store? The Post piles on:

A pair of ski-masked Peter Pipers picked on the wrong Lower East Side pickler yesterday, landing one of them a whole peck of trouble.

The bumbling thugs entered The Pickle Guys shop on Essex Street at around 8:30 a.m. as owner Alan Kaufman was preparing to open for business. One pointed a gun at the veteran cucumber curer, but the less-than-dynamic duo got more than they bargained for when he fought back — kicking the gunman right in the “pickles.”

. . .

Kaufman said he was sweeping the floor when the two men, wearing ski masks and latex gloves, lifted the metal grate and walked in.

“What are you doin’?” Kaufman asked — but the crooks shut him up with an angry “never mind!”

Hip to the fact he was about to be robbed, the Pickle Guy started jabbing at the would-be bandits with his broom.

One of the robbers pulled a gun — but rather than recoil, the brave Pickle Guy dove at him.

“I grabbed his hand, trying to get [the gun] away from him,” Kaufman said, adding that the scuffle caused the two attackers to fall.

That’s when, Kaufman said, he executed his prized move — “I kicked him in the pickles,” he said, referring to the gunman’s testicles.
