Bomb squad disables suspect sex toyExplosive climax to Post Office scarePublished Wednesday 30th May 2007 08:37 GMT Here's a top tip for those of you thinking of sending battery-operated sex toys via the Royal Mail: take out the power source before popping the package in the post, or you might enjoy a more explosive climax than anticipated. This piece of advice comes via the BBC, which reports that Post Office staff in Hasland, Chesterfield, alerted the bomb squad after detecting a suspiciously-noisy parcel. The street was duly sealed off for an hour and a half during which the chaps disabled the offending device in a controlled explosion. The source of the scare was subsequently found to be a vibrator, provocatively packed with a packet of chocolate buttons. A police spokesman said: "Officers had no way of knowing what was inside the package. But it gave us a giggle. They had to act on the information available and had to do what they thought was right. Thankfully, it was nothing more serious." ® BootnoteTa very much to Luke Dutton for the heads-up. 8 comments posted — Comment period finished Arf.Posted: 09:25 30th May 2007 bombsPosted: 10:55 30th May 2007 so did they...Posted: 11:57 30th May 2007 Re: So did they...Posted: 12:30 30th May 2007 Never mind that ....Posted: 14:00 30th May 2007
