The Stuff That Shouldn't Happen

I don't know how much I came tell you about this so I shall leave out specifics and tell it as simply as I can. Just so you know, I did not witness this but it was told to me with great detail.


Last week at work an imported shipment came in, it was damaged on one of its corners. The cardboard and tape were ripped open and the content of the box was partly missing. Wrapped in the tissue paper (where the crystal snow flakes should have been) was something that looked like a piece of machinery. Slightly bullet shaped, no bigger than a shoe. Our warehouse manager was afraid to touch it, because it looked like a bomb to him. No one knew what it was so they called the building manager. Before he got there the guy that worked next door came over and picked it up, shaking it, trying to find out what it was. The building manager had never seen anything like it and it freaked him out, so he called the police. The police really did not like what they saw and they left the building as fast as they could taking everybody with them. The police called the bomb squad. Low and behold it was a BOMB! Then the FBI became involved, they showed up at my bosses house and questioned her for over an hour ( they really do wear suits and flip they badge when they arrive). It turned out that the bomb was not active and would not have blow up. The FBI are no longer concerned, so we are not worried. But it was still a bomb and I wasn't there to see it all happen. :(
