The potato grenade

If any of you read the article in the kidspost today about the old italian lady who found the hand grenade in the bag of potatoes i think you will agreed that this incident poses some very serious questions.

1. how on earth did the french potato farm worker who dug up the potato not realize that what he holding is not a potato but a hand grenade? i would think that the differences between the two would be quite obvious. here is a potato and a hand grenade.

Don't they look completely different? The fact that french farm workers can't even tell the difference between a potato and a hand grenade speaks volumes in my book.
2. Is it possible that putting the hand grenade in the bag was not a mistake? could the hand grenade have been put there deliberately as part of a top secret plan to get undermine italy by handing out unexploded hand grenades to all of italy's grandmothers and urging them to rise up against the new-fangled government and change things back to the way they were in the good old days? ACCCCCCCCK, I think i will go hide under my bed.

C'EST MA VIE
