Deputy Sends Toy Bomb To Lieutenant - Hilarity Ensues

[Hetzer]

"The K9 did not alert to the suspicious package."







Pinellas patrol deputy resigns after mailing toy bomb to sheriff's office lieutenant as joke

That's awesome! Does Target really sell those?

Too bad no one has a sense of humor in that department, apparently.

 

[Rockrivr1]

Nobody can take a joke anymore....

 

[DrBurnsides]

It’s a legit toy? Yeah. The whole world needs to grow up.

 

[Radtekk]

His mistake was the note. Without that it would have obviously been fake. With the "explosion" the fact that it LOOKED like a toy was merely clever camouflage

 

[Hetzer]

Apparently it's a real toy. I wish I'd known about it for a Yankee swap gift lol:

Lol. Thats pretty funny.

 

[FancyGunz]

Such a stupid thing to do. Someone opening a package with "BOOM" written inside and wires sticking out is not going to wait around and inspect whether it's a toy or a real bomb. Sounds like he caused a chaotic scene with evacuations, bomb squad, etc.

 

[not new guy]

He shouldn't have taken it out of the retail packaging either.

They make them even more realistic looking:

Kinda funny, but yeah, dumbass. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

[RumRunner]

Yeah, dumb to put the boom sign in there. Could have been a great joke to the right person though. Years ago someone put road flares taped together under someones desk chair, when others in the office saw it they left without saying anything LOL, that was the funniest part.

You still have a working VCR?

I destroyed my last one probably 10 years ago one because it ate a tape.

At first glance I thought that's Hogg on the package...

Clockboy is a toy designer now. Obama sure recognized the genius in that kid.

That might beat out dick towel as best yankee swap gift ever!

Dick towel!

Dammit, I never thought of that.

Dammit, I never thought of that.

Works great for yankee swaps you really don’t want to be involved in!

Well now you have the solution. Cut the wires.

This^ Plus no note and he’s fine.

When this little baby times out...

...hilarity ensues, gah-ron-teed.

I got my kit at You-Blew-It, Needham.

Maybe 5-10 years ago, some guys were playing pranks on each other, one put a fake bomb in his locker it was later discovered in a dumpster, one bomb disposal unit later one of the guys got fired. Somehow the company has been able to keep it private which is shocking to say the least because what else is this place hiding.

Well, no. But we still have piles of VCRs of the kids my wife can’t part with. OK, I have a box of vinyl albums that suffered flood damage 20yr ago that will never play - and are a bit green and stink.

I dunno how we never blew our fingers off making pipe bombs with 1000 match heads in the 70s (to destroy Jap carrier models we floated in The Pond). I even did a “How to Make Gunpowder” demo in Speech Class in ‘75 which went well until the teacher lit the powder with his cig lighter. Volumes of smoke, alarms, fire trucks... bad situation.
