"Who threw the overalls In Mrs. Murphy's chowder?" Nobody spoke, so he Shouted all the louder. "It's a rotten trick that's true, I can lick the Mick that threw The overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder."

Some years ago my husband came across a great old 78 record with lyrics:

"Who put the benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovalatine?"

Wish I could remember the rest of it - a real hoot.

I was there for that event. I wrote up the piece and posted it elsewhere.

The best part was when the firemen had roped off the area and they brought the painters over to ask them about the strange substance and one of the painters knelt down and tasted the plaster.

Classic.

My guess will be someone who forgot to dump their minnows after fishing, realized he wasn't going fishing again soon, and stopped and dumped the minnows in the reservoir.

Good guess. Suspect we've all been there, done that.

At least until I discovered that artificial lures will actually catch big bass.

Really? I hadn't heard that, ROFL.

I live between Denton and Easton, btw. Kinda embarassing that the Eastern Shore had two of the most laughable incidents. Was it Cambridge that had people calling the FD over bird droppings, thinking they were a chemical dropped by aircraft?

Deale had the mystery white stuff.

The place where the plaster incident happened was at the parking lot at Annie's in Kent Island.

Jill probably got the money up front, then turned up pregnant, took the government for megabucks as an unwed mother, and then hooked back on to Jack to collect child support. Jack may not deserve sympathy. However, since the government has made itself a player in this nursery rhyme, you, dear reader, are not a mere bystander. You pay, too.

Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine

recorded by Henry "The Hipster" Gibson, 1944

Mrs. Murphy couldn't sleep,
Her nerves were slightly off the beat,
Until she solved her problem,
With a can of Ovaltine.

She drank a cup full most every night
And oooh, how she would dream,
Until something rough got in the stuff,
And made her neighbors scream...

"Oh! Who put the benzedrine
In Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?"
Sure is a shame, don't know whose to blame
Cause the old lady didn't even get his name.

Where did she get that that stuff,
Now she just can't get enough
It might have been the man who wasn't bad
Not Jack, that guy's a square.

She never ever wants to go to sleep.
She said that everthing is solid all reet.
Now Mr. Murphy don't know what its all about
So she went and threw the old man out. Clout.

You can hear it here

Brought to you by the miracle of Google.

I think the best previous one were the women who called the police and got a HAZMAT team out to Kent Narrows in Maryland because some painters dumped some plaster in a parking lot at a restaurant,

My vote still goes to the one where authorities were brought in because of a "suspicious white powder"..........................
.........On the counter of freaking doughnut shop!

Umm, excuse me folks, but our government has asked us all to be "on alert" and report suspicious activity just like this. Yes, there will be many false alarms. But we do know for a fact that there are not just a few, but perhaps tens of thousands of people out there that would like to kill as many of us as possible by any means possible, and hundreds of millions of others cheering them on. This may be a big joke to you, but I assure you that our enemies are not joking, they are deadly serious.
