Got a text alert from work: "All drivers look out for [generic description of an Arabic man], he was last seen rushing out of a train after panicking after someone had stumbled into his bag. Shortly before that he was seen reading a book labeled 'Terror'".

I thought it was a bad joke, but when I arrived in the airport terminal there were multiple policemen in full combat gear with machine guns.

MILITARIZED POLICE

Bizzare that one could be charged with a criminal offence for that.

Hell, what about all those trucks with rubber testicles?

Turns out it was a Danish arab who was studying for an exam on terrorism in the US at the University of Copenhagen, he was reading so he didn't noticed they were arriving at the platform and so he rushed out when he noticed.

He looks very innocent and his "terrorist beard" looks much more hipster like than anything else. Goddamn crazy to start a manhunt with machine guns based on one phone call from an idiot.

Better do a full cavity search just to be safe.

How did they get the idea that sheriffs wore shirts like that? 

In the PR-damage-control brainstorming session after the story blew up, is my guess.

George Takei does a humorous Q&A on homogayness:

It could be that the shirt sans star was just a normal designed baby shirt (it would look that way) and they added a sheriff star to make it a baby sheriff shirt.

Other possibilities: a) a rogue designer thought it would be funny, or b) they wanted to create a harmless controversy for free publicity.

Fun fact: the best way to drive a skunk out from under your deck where it has been living is: use one of those conservative talk radio stations. Take radio, turn it to one of those all-day talk radio programs, place on deck, play day & night. Skunk will move out in disgust. Music doesn't work, as skunks can get used to music. They can't stand yammering human voices, particularly excited and angry voices. Conservative talk radio is perfect - lots of excited and angry call-ins.

My dad actually used this method and it worked!

Doesn't that violate the Geneva Conventions?

So does the skunk's use of chemical warfare.
