Florida man finds WWII grenade, brings it to Taco Bell

Only in Florida
“At 5:01 p.m. a caller informed dispatchers that he had found a hand grenade while magnet fishing in Ocklawaha, put it in his trunk, and drove to Taco Bell in Ocala. Marion County Sheriff's Bomb Squad has responded to ensure everyone’s safety. Please avoid the area."
"But WHY? The last thing I’d do with a grenade is put it in my trunk and drive around,” one Facebook user noted. Another said: “Why does stuff like this only happened in Florida?"
Why, indeed? I love living near the beach, but folks are crazy here!

This is eerily similar to a conversation I had with a cat in the Balkans.
True story - I won't bore you with the details, but I didn't know what to tell him. He didn't know what it was, but he drew a picture of a mortar shell. He was on the wrong side of the line to tell the authorities (he would have been arrested). I recommended he not touch the ordnance, but he had already moved it into his house.
In all seriousness - I hope that guy is still alive.

Taco Bell - come for the explosive grenades, stay for the explosive diarrhea

Should have used Letgo. I am sure there was a "No Grenades, Only Money" sign.

Taco Bell, where only grenades are more explosive than Taco Belly.

The Taco Bell employee missed a chance to tell him:
“You got the wrong store, brah!”
“You got the wrong store, brah!”
