#1 "an old bomb lying in garbage in the house"
Yawn. Yeah, that happens in Pakistan. "Next!"

(Shift to PakiMode)
In other news, even more unfathomably insane shit happened in Pakistan. No one in Pakistan had any comment. Normalcy reigns and life is, uh, sweet.
(/PakiMode)

Fred - we've got to keep you out of the Paki newspapers. I'm worried about your mental state. Like a cop that's on the street too long, soon you'll begin to think of what happens in PakiWackiLand as normal. This is a bad thing, Fred. Trust me. Not good. My recommended therapy for re-introduction to sanity is extreme, but effective. Phase I: 2 weeks at Club Med Martinique or Hedonism II. Phase II: 2 weeks at DisneyWorld. Phase III: 2 weeks at The Smithsonian. ;->

#2 Doesn't everybody have an old bomb in the garage? Gee, I need to go paint mine next week.

#3 I'll bet you he'd been looking all over the place for that damn bomb...

#4 doug, you misread: it was in garbage IN the house. Now I may have been raised a little rustic, but in our family we put the garbage OUTSIDE the house to be taken away.
Guess they need warnings on the bombs "to be disposed of properly. Don't leave it in the stench-filled garbage-strewn living room"

#5 Now now, Frank G, I think you're being a little unfair. I am sure that he had the bomb in the correct trash receptacle, properly separated from the burnable trash and the glass bottles, according to local Paki garbage disposal ordinances...

#6 Anon- you're right, it was unfair to assume it wasn't in a "explosives - please recycle" bin. I apologize to all the fragments of the unfortunate owner of the abode

#7 Now, now. Let's not make cultural value judgements on our Pakistani cousins. I'm sure it's perfectly normal to have a bomb in the garbage inside your house over there. Who are we to judge?
