A custodian called in a bomb threat because he wanted a day off
For all those slackers out there, it is important to note that calling in a bob threat is not the most appropriate way to get a day off - unless by day off you mean jail time.
Coral Gables Police claim a custodial employee at the Biltmore Hotel called in a bomb threat from his office Monday morning so that he could have an extended weekend. Thomas Hudnall, 62, was arrested and charged with false report of explosive/weapons of mass destruction. Editor's Note: An earlier report erroneously stated the hotel chef made the phone call, but the call was actually made from the executive chef's office. We apologize for the error.
During the 911 call, a caller said there was a bomb in the Biltmore and then yelled "Death to all Jews" before hanging up. We're not sure if the last part was to make the bomb threat more believable, but it didn't work. The building was never evacuated.
Police traced the call in the hotel to the executive chef's office and then looked at surveillance camera's and realized Hudnall was there the same time the call was placed. Hudnall admitted to the call after being questioned and said he just wanted the day off. Here's a tip: use a vacation day.
The Biltmore said Hudnall had never been in trouble before or faced disciplinary action.
"The actions of Mr. Hudnall are deplorable; however it never posed any credible threat," the execs at Biltmore said in a statement. "We are shocked and saddened by his actions but are confident that it was an isolated situation."
It looks like Hudnall will have all the days off he wants now. He's been fired.
What a stupid thing to do...

Is calling in a bob threat even illegal?
Looks like the editor took the day off along with the hotel slacker.
By the way, I found your tag line — it’s a couple posts up from here. Feed it regularly and it’ll hang around home more. :-)

“Probation For Man Who Made Airline Threat”
SNIPPET: “Mansor Mohammad Asad made international news in January after being pulled off of a Detroit-bound flight at Miami International Airport for yelling, “I want to kill all the Jews.” Thursday, Asad was given a three years probation and was barred from public transportation for the incident.
Asad, who is from Toledo, Ohio...”
SNIPPET: “Asad will also pay $27,500 as restitution to the airline and undergo psychiatric evaluation and treatment if necessary.”
“Please hand over your money. I have a bob.”
“Bob who?”
How about Woody Allen— “I have a gub...”
Although, being self-employed it doesn't really hold the same drama.
LOL!
I once faked a kidnapping.
Got me out of a day of fourth grade.
But into a month of being grounded!

LOL — one of those “lose arguments with yourself” things, eh?
Call in a bob to your employer — maybe it will be more frightening...
Or Frasier Crane — “Look out! He’s got a nug!”
As in “if you don’t give your staff the day off, a Bob is going to explode”?
