Suspicious Package Found On Interstate

[Shamalama]

The ?suspicious package? that caused Interstate 75 and Daniels Parkway [in southwest Florida] to be shut for more than an hour Monday was not an explosive pipe bomb ? but rather wrapped-up plastic foot-long penis.

?Someone took construction-grade plastic, molded it into a penis and wrapped it with duct tape,? said Lee County Sheriff?s Chief Deputy Charles Ferrante.

?They wrote ?Happy Father?s Day? on the duct tape.?

The device was first described by the sheriff?s office as a prosthetic penis. Later, it cops described it as a paper sculpture made to look like a penis.

"(The rumor that it was actually a vibrator) just took a life of it's own," said Cpl. Larry King.

Ferrante later spoke with a member of the bomb squad who described it in more detail.

?Somebody molded it to look like a penis,? Ferrante said. ?It was not detected until the suspicious package was removed.?

OK, so this means that someone WON'T be receiving his Father's Day gift? And NO, no pictures were included in the article. You'll have to rely on your own imagination. Or, if you're in Atlanta, you can visit Inserection - not that I've ever been there.

It never ceases to amaze me what kind of people are out there! I guess some imaginations are much better than mine.

They had the bomb squad, the robot, and everything else to do with bombs there. I heard our Sheriff interviewed on one of the morning talk shows this morning (on my way to work) and the only thing he would say when asked to describe the item was it was a "Phallic Symbol".
