A large fake penis has caused a major terror alert in America.
A key highway though Florida was closed after a driver spotted what looked like a pipe bomb under an overpass.
Fearing terrorists were trying to blow up the structure, police closed Interstate 75 for an hour.
But on closer inspection police found that the 'device' was actually a foot-long plastic penis.
"Someone took construction-grade plastic, moulded it into a penis and wrapped it with duct tape," said Lee County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Charles Ferrante.
The bomb squad was brought in to handle the situation and a remote-controlled robot used to make the fake penis safe.

Tried to post this a couple of days ago when it appeared in the news press but their copyright prevented it. They left out the portion where there was writing on the alleged bomb that said "Happy Father's Day". I think it was thrown away because it should have said "Happy Mother's Day".(Seeing it was just past that day.) It occurred on Daniels Pkwy(?) and tied up traffic for about 2 hours.

The threat was minimized by immersion in ice water.

Good thing it didn't explode - that would have been a real mess.

 Dang, and to think I threw that spam away. "Close down highways with it!" it said. I figured it was just a bunch of BS.

Was some one having fun on the way while driving with the toy falling off the vehicle and by chance "vibrating"?
