Excitement at work

[AstralTraveller (David)]

I just received the email below from our security boss. I didn't know I was in such danger.

"Incident in western carpark
Earlier this afternoon, University Security asked occupants of Buildings 23, 25, 22, 31 and 30 to remain inside their buildings due to a situation in the Western Carpark.

A student had reported an incident in that carpark.

Police attended about 3.00pm and investigated the situation. They later reported it as a false alarm.

Police and Security spoke to the owner of a car who had a toy cap gun. The person had earlier purchased the toy gun for a fancy dress party. A passer by spotted him with the "gun" while he sat in his vehicle eating lunch.

Police and Security now consider the matter closed."

Good one. Semper Vigalius.
I was managing a big London bookshop during the Salman Rushdie Fatwa nonsense. The security people detained a young women who appeared to have some dynamite in her back-pack. She refused to be searched so the police had to be called. About a dozen showed up with an AT order to look in her bag.
Well... er....you can use your imagination as to what might look like a stick of TNT and what a female college student might carry in the depths of her bag!
