On Friday afternoon, a New York motorist called police with a tip about a potential terror threat. Seems someone was hauling a suspicious-looking object — it resembled a torpedo — on the highways around the city.
Before long 30 agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, were searching for this potential menace.
Even Coast Guard cutters in the area were on the lookout, since the thing looked sort of like a boat.
They should have set the terror color chart to Rebel Gray, because they were just hunting for a bunch of good ol’ boys from Summerville hauling a replica of the H.L. Hunley to Connecticut for the weekend.

‘Today New Haven ,.. tomorrow , Pawtuckett !!’
You really can’t blame the LEO for this, but the motorist who called in the tip. I mean, when someone calls and says that there a suspicious-looking object resembling a torpedo on the highways around the city, they can’t just ignore it and pretend that it didn’t happen.
They have to pretend like every threat is a real threat, just in case it is a real threat.
They’re a little late, but by God they got there.
L O L !
Its a target rich environment and I can think of a few who post here who might serve for target practice

Well I’m trying to anyhow...
lol
That there is a nook-you-lure weapon!!
Also, what is that long thing sticking out from between that terrorist's legs? Is he peeing on the road?
I thought this was a baseball story that somehow got mixed in with Hot Rod Hundley.
