| "Humming" sex toy shuts airport |
| 2004-10-05 |
| A vibrating sex toy in a rubbish bin sparked a security scare and shut a regional Australian airport for almost an hour, officials say. An emergency was declared at the airport in Mackay, 500 miles north of Brisbane in tropical Queensland state, after airport staff heard a strange noise coming from the bin, Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio said on Monday. "It was rather disconcerting when the rubbish bin started humming furiously," cafeteria manager Lynne Bryant said. Police evacuated the terminal and were about to call in bomb experts when an unidentified passenger came forward to identify the contents of a package left in the bin. A police spokeswoman said the package was identified as an "adult novelty device". |

| #5 There may be fifty ways to leave your lover, but to do it by having sex with a trash can is not very complimentary. |
