Suspicious package turns out to be turnip
A raw turnip was at the root of a bomb scare that lasted for hours at a Fort Wayne law office. An employee at Haller & Colvin Attorneys at Law called 911 yesterday after opening a U.S. Postal Service box and finding a suspicious gift bag inside, police said. It was unclear who was supposed to receive the vegetable....
See what I'm up against in this crazy state!!!!
Of course, I could live in Kansas:
Woman sits on boyfriend's toilet for 2 years
Girlfriend was physically stuck to the seat — her skin had grown around it
NESS CITY, Kan. - Deputies said a woman in western Kansas sat on her boyfriend's toilet for two years, and they're investigating whether she was mistreated.
Ness County Sheriff Bryan Whipple said a man called his office last month to report that something was wrong with his girlfriend.
Whipple said it appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman’s skin had grown around the seat. She initially refused emergency medical services but was finally convinced by responders and her boyfriend that she needed to be checked out at a hospital.“We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital,” Whipple said. “The hospital removed it.”
Whipple said investigators planned to present their report Wednesday to the county attorney, who will determine whether any charges should be filed against the woman's 36-year-old boyfriend.
“She was not glued. She was not tied. She was just physically stuck by her body,” Whipple said. “It is hard to imagine. ... I still have a hard time imagining it myself.”
He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.
“And her reply would be, ‘Maybe tomorrow,”’ Whipple said. “According to him, she did not want
to leave the bathroom.”The boyfriend called police on Feb. 27 to report that “there was something wrong with his girlfriend,” Whipple said, adding that he never explained why it took him two years to call.
Police found the clothed woman sitting on the toilet, her sweat pants down to her mid-thigh. She was “somewhat disoriented,” and her legs looked like they had atrophied, Whipple said.
“She said that she didn’t need any help, that she was OK and did not want to leave,” he said.
Authorities said they did not know if she was mentally or physically disabled.

I read that story about the girl being stuck on the toilet and at first I thought it was a joke...sort of like April Fools Day or something.
Isn't Mr. Whipple the guy from the Charmin advertisement in the days of yore?
