PICKENS, S.C. -- The Greenville County bomb squad was called to a Pickens County home on Wednesday night after a can filled with an unknown liquid was left on the homes porch.
Holly Springs Fire Department crews asked some neighbors to evacuate the area briefly while the bomb squad investigated.
The home is on Blue Yonder Drive, about 4 miles north of Pickens.
Deputies said the container appeared to be a beer can, but they decided to test the liquid inside as a precaution.
The bomb squad took the can for further testing.
No information is available about the contents of the can or if those contents posed any hazard.

I hope if they shot the can, they had the presence of mind to follow tradition and use a .22. Wink

Only if it was Budweiser or something equally noxious.  grin

Four miles north of Pickens, SC would make it a high probability can of beer.

My favorite is Bob's expression in the very last panel, about the two-slit experiment.

Cheesy

Good luck with your drywall. A little bit of sanding goes a long way!

You know, I bet it was the man's own beer can. He got drunk last night, left it on the porch, and forgot about it.
