Whoo-hoo! LESSD!!! (Law Enforcement Senior Skip Day)

Wonder how many officers showed up for the festivities? Probably at least a dozen... (donut joke)

Let's see: 10 officers @ $25 an hour for 4 hours.

That grenade prolly cost the taxpayers at least a grand, maybe two.

Ummm...they are very easy to disarm, no need to blow it up. Just unscrew the top and remove the fuse and dump the explosives, then re-assemble and walla! you have an example of a “pine apple” granade.

Once his pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.

Isn't there some quasi-governmental agency in place to protect relics of WWII and the Korean War? It wouldn't surprise me. Now they can have, oh, about a years worth of communication with this particular police department and then each department can employ there own lawyers to straighten this whole mess out.

Don't kid yourself. This is a mess.< /s>

Until I was about 12 years old my aunt & uncle kept two artillery shells their dad’s brother had brought back from WWI. As I grew up I remember these being parked on an end table at their farm. These had been kept around their farm in one place or another from about 1919 until 1964 or so until they discovered they were both live shells...!

Mt uncle brought back all kinds of shells from WWII. Some were 40mm, a couple of mortar rounds, and rifle rounds. We used to play with them in the attic skylight room when we were kids. One day we took a smaller rifle round and threw it against a tree where it exploded, sending shrapnel everywhere. Needless to say, my aunt dumped them all in the river the same day.

When I was a programmer, I was tempted to get one of these.
