I want to preface this article of news by saying that I have no idea what I would do if I encountered a grenade in the wild. Specifically, a World War II hand grenade. If it hasn’t gone off by now, it could at any moment, right? That’s rolling the dice in a capacity I never really care to. So, while I can’t say for sure what I would do, I’m willing to bet a significant amount of my annual income that I would not default to taking the thing to the nearest Taco Bell.

A World War II hand grenade prompted the evacuation of a Florida Taco Bell on Saturday.
The Ocala Police Department said a man found the grenade while fishing in Ocklawaha. He threw it in his trunk, then drove to a Taco Bell, where he called the police.
Police said the business was evacuated and a bomb squad was called in.
“The bomb squad removed the grenade without incident and advised it would be disposed of properly. Taco Bell has reopened,” police said in a post on Twitter.
Fuckin’ Florida. Come on now.
Poor Taco Bell – sittin’ there enjoying what was probably a routine day of operations! Next thing you know, some guy comes in and calls the police ’cause he HAS A DAMN GRENADE IN HIS TRUNK. Why wouldn’t you just call the cops to the scene of the grenade finding? What is at Taco Bell that makes the location so appropriate for something like this?
You ruined the Taco Bell experience for everyone in that restaurant, sir.
Wait – hold on. Why was a grenade just laying around Florida somewhere for a fisherman to discover to begin with? There are so many questions that we don’t have answers to.
I know one thing – if I am a patron of Taco Bell and anyone brings a grenade in on my, I’m 100% pulling the pin. You gonna learn not to mess with my burrito supreme eatin’.
