You've got to be kidding me

FYI- Bomb threats are not appropriate April Fool's jokes.

But they do lead to interesting situations at work....  *sigh*

I saw a sign at Love Field(Dallas air port) saying that you could be jailed for making a bomb threat there.

I hope the schmuck has some painful consequences to deal with.

The police are still following up. It was kids being stupid.

Made for an interesting last half hour though

Kids or no, they'd better get in trouble...I mean, anyone old enough to call in a bomb threat that sounds real should know it doesn't make an appropriate joke :p.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh, they'll get in trouble, but apparently they aren't even teenagers. , so it limits what the police can do.

all the info is all muddled at the moment. Supposedly we'll find out specifics later

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

hopefully their parents will whup 'em.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

One would hope!

I had a university exam delayed for an hour once because of a bomb threat - I've always suspected it was one of the students running late and determined to hold things up.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I can see some idiot doing that.

I still take it a bit personally - it was an afternoon exam in winter, in this great cavernous barn of a building... We were supposed to be done by 5pm, but when it got past full dark outside and I couldn't feel my toes anymore (even while rapping my feet on the floor) I left ahead of the full three hour limit.

o.O Stupid, stupid kids. Hope things have settled some!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

within minutes of the call it was retracted, but the chaos continued for awhile. It's pretty settled now, just dealing with the fallout and everyone wondering what happened and whatnot

Yeesh. No, no they are not.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I am in desperate need of donuts after a day like today

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Donuts and coffee, I would imagine. Krispy Kreme donuts.

Honey Glazed Tim Bits!!!! Thinkng aboutt aking the job offer at the new Tim Horton's here. Just for the Honey Glazed Tim Bits.

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

Tim Horton's are good. Is there a Joey Tomato's in your town?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I have never heard of that place, sorry

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

It was a pizza place in Calgary.

Oy. How long did you have to stand out in the cold?

We had a couple of bomb scares when I was in middle school, but that was pre-Columbine, pre-9/11 of course, so for us it was just a delightful, sunny spring afternoon out in the football bleachers chatting. I would not be so amused these days, or in your climate.

Luckily they realized it was a hoax almost immediately after the call was received. I dont have all the detail, but apparently some kids called several places. They were bored and home alone and thought it was funny.

Bomb threats are not appropriate jokes, ever.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

nope, at least they shouldn't be!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

There's just some subjects I think no one should use to play (practical) jokes on people :(

Like, we had a threat of a rampage in our school and even though everyone pretty much knew that it was just meant to get the students a day off school (which we didn't get, anyway), it was still scary >.

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

You have got to be *kidding* me. NOT funny!


Did you get good looking firemen at least??

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no firemen, the police came though- even though the "threat" was canceled almost immediately after it was made
