Zucchini mistaken for WWII bomb in Germany

FOX-

A worried resident in Germany alerted police to what he thought was a World War II bomb in his garden. Officers rushed over — and found a particularly large zucchini.

Police were summoned to the scene in Bretten, near the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, on Thursday morning by an 81-year-old man.

They said in a statement Friday that officers determined “the object, which really did look very like a bomb” was actually a nearly 16-inch zucchini.

The offending vegetable, which was very dark in color, weighed about 11 pounds. Police believe someone threw it over a hedge into the garden.

Unexploded wartime bombs are unearthed frequently during construction work in Germany, often forcing authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of residents while they are defused.

  1. Zuchinni surprise. . . .drain the explosive “juice” out of the handgrenade by turning it up side down. Sloooowly squeeze onto unexploded WW2 zuchinni ordinance. Fry for 6-10 minutes and serve.

  2. So, what’s the German word for “zucchini?”
    Krautenmonkeyschlammindong?
    Which is too similar to Krautenmonkeyschlamminbomb?

    Weep for the Teutons. Their suicide is nearly complete.
