WTF? Land mine left in Goodwill donation box

ARVADA, Colorado - A land mine found in a suburban Denver Goodwill donation box forced the evacuation of a strip mall.

The rectangular, olive-green box with the words "Front Toward Enemy" raised the suspicions of Goodwill workers Tuesday.

Arvada police say the Claymore land mine didn't go off in the donation box and no one was hurt. A bomb squad disposed of the device.

Police Sgt. Jeff Monzingo says it's unclear whether the device was operational or where it came from. No suspects have been identified.

Claymore mines were widely used during the Vietnam war.

The headlines all read like the first lines of a bad joke.

In my defense, I totally thought it was a toy Claymore.

Well, the toy Claymores have a label that says, "Front Towards Pretend Enemy."

So that was real. I heard a bit of that story on the radio as I was waking up and kind of assumed I was dreaming.

It would have been even better if the mayors and rabbis had been colluding.

Apparently there is now also organ-selling involved:

You really can't make this shit up. And naturally I have a conference call during the press conference.

Dana landed safely and is embarking on her European vacation. Meanwhile, I no longer own a car.

Don't give up hope just yet!

Honestly, I'd think you'd have more faith in the Mob. It's like you're letting your Jersey cred slip, Theo.

Today is already on the FAIL list, and I am still in my PJs.

Mine too, compounded by the fact that I am *not* at home in my PJs.

Ugh!
