Legal eagle readers of this blog might find the following story a little to close to home... if you have a sensitive character, you should move swiftly on.

A root vegetable was at the root of a bomb scare at a law office that lasted for hours. An employee at the office (name withheld to protect the not so innocent) called 911 last week after opening a U.S. Postal Service box and finding a suspicious gift bag inside.

The bomb squad were called, and they brought in a robot to carry the package outside to the parking lot. X-rays showed no signs of an explosive, but bomb technicians decided to detonate the package with a water cannon just to be safe.

After that, they opened the box.

They found a turnip, wrapped in lettuce-green tissue paper inside a sandwich bag.

The intended recipient of the turnip bomb has not come forward for identification. Well he (or she) wouldn't would they.
