Imagine the reaction of police in Gela yesterday when a farm worker entered their station and announced,
"I've found a bomb and it's in the boot of my car."
The man, who has been dubbed "Mr Bean" by the Sicilian press, had found the World War 11 "pineapple" hand grenade on a beach, picked it up, put it in his car and had then driven to the police station in a highly populated, busy part of the city. The car was immediately cordoned off by police and several nearby businesses and a post office had to be evacuated.
At last the grenade was safely exploded by bomb disposal police from Palermo and life has returned to normal in Gela.
Jesus what an idiot!
ReplyDeleteThis leaves me stunned. The guy knew what it was and picked it up? I can say something unflattering here ;) but thou shalt not judge and all that.
ReplyDeleteHe's not exactly the sort of neighbour I'd want to live next to.
ReplyDeleteWhile reading this may have been hilarious, I can only imagine the commotion that this man caused. Yo Mr. Bean!
ReplyDeleteYou have to love these types of people. They're the ones the EU superstate needs.
ReplyDeleteMy husband could be Mr Bean's double. He is always doing his impressions. In fact, I don't know who copied who!!
ReplyDeleteHi, jams. Yes, indeed. Hi, Miss Footloose. Yes, we don't know his state of mind. Nor me, Josep. Glad to hear it, WW. Hi, Rowena. Yes, I keep imagining that, too. They should be running the EU, James. Hi, Ellee. Oh, I'm sure Mr Bean copied your husband!
ReplyDeleteWhoops......
ReplyDeleteHi, Rachel. I keep imagining the thing bumping around in the boot!
