Live grenade found on counter of cafeteria (in Miami)
snip>
The Opportunity Cafeteria had just opened about 6:30 a.m. when the unidentified worker found the grenade on one corner of the counter. Police officers were summoned and determined that the grenade was active, with its pin still in place.

The department's bomb squad took the grenade to a secure location and detonated it. No one was injured and there was no damage to any structures.

Investigators were trying Tuesday to determine how the grenade got there. No other devices were found in the cafeteria.

Detective Delrish Moss said there two customers in the cafeteria, located in a busy strip mall. Had the device exploded, he said, "it would have caused a significant amount of damage" and possibly killed or wounded the people.

4. People are always leaving the craziest stuff laying around, aren't
they? Imagine the goings on down the street at the local Wal-Mart...

"Well, Frank, I had my grenade at breakfast. I'm sure I did."

"Ok. Billy Joe Jim Bob, let's just retrace your steps. Here, hold my assault rifle so I can get my M60 strapped on right. Now, what'd you eat?"

that it didn't have a dead chicken attached to it.
