Bag of beers closes down Richmond (Va.) grocery store
:rofl: Ukrop's doesn't sell beer and is closed Sunday. The LAST thing they ever thought could be outside a Ukrop's was... BEER!!! :rofl:

A suspicious package that shut down a Ukrop's grocery store in western Henrico County for more than two hours yesterday afternoon turned out to contain nothing more than cans of beer.

The grocery store at West Broad Street and Pemberton Road was evacuated from about 3:30 to 5:45 p.m. while a Henrico bomb squad investigated a book or duffel bag that had been left near the entrance to the store's cafe.

Investigators used an X-ray to check the package and eventually determined it was harmless, said Lt. Gary Hutchison, an investigator for the Henrico Division of Fire. Officials found cans of beer inside. Authorities have not determined who the would-be drinker was.

Ukrop's stores do not sell beer.

2. I knew you'd appreciate that
I found this in the Times Dispatch at lunch. It wasn't hard-the entire paper today weighed less than a monthly bill from Verizon. Seriously the front section (WITH the op-ed page) was 10 pages TOTAL.

:eyes:

10. I stopped getting the paper. It's so bad, I didn't ever read it
and it would just lie in the driveway until someone got around to picking it up. What a waste of a tree and ink.
