Default Bomb Threat
So I'm in a meeting today and my girlfriend calls up and says that our office (we work together) had just been cleared out because of a bomb she received in the mail. The cops and bombsquad had arrived and she was petrified...

According to her, some guy in Cincinnati had sent her a large red bomb, 'like the ones from WWII'....
...

Hmmm, didn't I win a 5 lb CO2 tank on EBay the other day?

I had forgotten to change the mailing name on my account after sending my gal a ebay gift for her birthday and she got the CO2 tank! Fortunately, she caught the cops just as they were taking my new baby to be analyzed. They had a good laugh and demanded a beer or six as payment for their services... I'm happy to oblige.

I had to go from door to door in my office apologizing for the bomb threat! Luckily, I got to tell a lot of colleagues about my homebrewing and we are planning on a homebrew office party!!!!

Alls well that ends with a homebrew!

Awesome. From potentially federal crime to homebrew party in one fell swoop.
