Man Finds Condom In Filbert Nut Purchased At Walmart

RIFLE, Colo. --A bit of online searching helped crack the case of the condom in the filbert nut. Police chief Daryl Meisner said it appeared no crime was committed when somebody put the condom-containing nut in a bin at a Wal-Mart Supercenter.

"This looks exactly like what I found on the Internet," Meisner said. "The condom was new and unused, so it probably wasn't anything malicious. I can't find where any law has been broken."

Dian Geist of Silt bought a bag of unshelled nuts from an open bin at the store. She said she and her husband, Brian, had a good laugh when the bright yellow condom popped out of the nut.

"I really don't want it, but my husband wants it back for some reason," she said.

The couple took the nut -- and its contents -- back to Wal-Mart, where an assistant manager photographed it before the Geists took it to the police.

"Whether someone thought it was a joke, we take it very seriously," said Wal-Mart spokeswoman Karen Burk. "This is a food-tampering issue."

Meisner said someone had drilled a hole in the nut, emptied the shell and then plugged the hole with wood putty after the condom was inserted.

3. Bullshit. A practical joke does not involve placing an item in store

inventory. A practical joke is played on a friend/cohort/acquaintance. Sorry, you're way off base.

Get off your freakin' high horse.

4. Well, maybe you didn't read the article. The article discusses

the practical joke involving placing an item in food for some unsuspecting person to buy it. I have no clue you are discussing putting something in a food for your friends. Maybe your friends will laugh-hey, I don't know them.
I sure as hell don't think somebody tampering with food in a supermarket makes for a good joke, but hey, maybe that's just me.

6. Broaden your mind.

Practical jokes are for people you know and can see the response, hence the "makes a good practical joke" piece.

Just extrapolate a little bit and release your mind from your concrete thinking skills.

Sheesh.

7. If you put it in a store, it's no longer a practical joke.

A practical joke involves a known target.

If you put it in a store, it's a felony.

5. Any filbert purchase that is not for the purposes of procreation...

...is against God's plan.
