WILTON MANORS, FLA. (WSVN) - A dangerous discovery was made inside of a Wilton Manors bar as a man pulled out a surprising weapon from his pocket.
Working as a bartender in South Florida has its fair share of interesting stories, but for Joe Shakespeare, a customer pulling out a grenade from his pocket was a first.
“Yeah, that was a little different, a little scary,” said Shakespeare.
This happened Tuesday night, at the Corner Pub in Wilton Manors.
It was a usual night with a heavy crowd, and Shakespeare was busy behind the bar when the man casually placed the grenade on the bar counter.
“And then said, ‘Don’t be scared,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, no, I’m not scared,'” said Shakespeare, “even though I was petrified.”
He kept his cool and let his bosses know to call the police. Officers advised them to clear the bar out.
“We started working together and getting people out of the bar slowly,” said Shakespeare.
“The bartender handed me a note that said, the guy behind me has a grenade,” said a witness. “I grabbed my stuff and I left.”

I hate when I grab my grenade instead of my wallet.

It was a usual night with a heavy crowd, and Shakespeare was busy behind the bar ... It sounds like a Tom Waits song.

For those not in the know Wilton Manors is very very gay.

So I guess carrying a bazooka into that bar would be out of the question.

The patrons were happy it didn’t blow....or were they?

A common mistake and that’s why you should never keep it in your pocket. Always keep it on a string around your neck. That way it makes an interesting fashion statement. :-)

I love Tom Waits, but that's a Billy Joel groove.

Not necessarily... given what others are saying about the proclivities of people in that area, they might be into big bore weapons. Just sayin.
