Jelly sparks toxic waste alert

[Jimbo 172]

A pile of jelly left by a road in Germany caused a major security alert after it was mistaken for toxic waste.

 

A large area near the town of Halle was cordoned off after a "flabby red, orange and green substance" was found by the road, Reuters reported.

 

Fire officers in protective suits spent two hours inspecting the substance before concluding it was jelly.

 

"The fire brigade always has to assume a worst-case scenario," a fire brigade spokesman told the news agency.

 

"We conducted a variety of tests and figured out it was jelly."

 

The spillage was traced to a wedding party. The newly-wed groom, who was woken up and informed of the alert, promised to clean up the mess.

Reminds me of when I used to work in the nightclub and one night they had a bomb scare - someone rang the front desk and described this bag that was in the cloakroom and assured the lass on the front desk that it was a bomb. Anyway, they checked, and sure enough there was a bag there as described, so they phoned the coppers who told them to evacuate the place......only one of the doormen had other ideas.

 

He walked into the cloakroom and kicked the bag as hard as he could across the room, turned round to the manageress and goes "That's not a bomb."

Someone at my work was cleaning one of the screens and found a pink handbag. He went to the box office to give to someone to put in the lost property but because he was serving someone at the time he just put it next to him. The customer said something along the lines of "You're very brave leaving that bag there in this day and age." They had a short conversation about how he thought he should just live his life normally and not be scared of every bag (especially a pink handbag) he comes across otherwise the terrorists would have won. She got angry and left with the comment "You're a fucking idiot" which took him back a bit.

 

The second next customer asked if anyone had found her pink handbag.

Aye well there was always that likely lad in Reading in the early 90's who lifted a bag someone had left sitting while they were standing relieving themselves in the bog at the station - gets home, opens it up and finds its an IRA Special

 

Threw it into the back garden and THEN called the law
