Washington, DC Evacuation Caused By Two Cans Of Spinach And A Dirty Diaper

by scottso

WASHINGTON, DC – An unpleasant-smelling, unmarked package that led to the evacuation of a post office next to the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum contained two cans of spinach and a dirty diaper, authorities said.

“No wonder it smelled,” said Deborah Yackley, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service. “I don’t know why it was being mailed.”

A postal worker alerted police shortly before 11 a.m. after spotting the smelly package sitting on a counter with no one around to claim it, authorities said.Popey and Olive Oyl

The package had no postage and no address.

District of Columbia police bomb technicians X-rayed the package and a hazardous materials team inspected it before determining that it contained nothing dangerous.

The evacuation lasted several hours.

  • Someone call Popey and Olive Oyl – they left their diaper bag behind!
  • It’s new events like this that should make us all proud to be Americans, pouring our precious tax dollars into the highest security systems possible. Thanks Dubya!
