Somehow this doesn’t seem too damn funny:
A man who was upset with the Social Security Administration went to the new Oklahoma City federal building about 12:30 p.m. today and left one or two handwritten notes claiming to have bombs, officials said.
Employees in the federal building just north of downtown Oklahoma City were evacuated and police blocked off surrounding streets for 12 blocks.
And we all know what happened to the old federal building.
But there is a punchline: the local Social Security office isn’t even in the federal building.

i was driving down walker when i saw cops everywhere and streets blocked off and the federal building surrounded, and you know what, i was thinking: “NO WAY. C’MON. YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.”

Just to follow up, the man who left the note was discovered hanging around downtown. He was arrested and, as Chaz alluded to, I doubt local authorities will take bomb threats made against local federal buildings lightly.

Can we bring back the stocks? Seriously, there are an awful lot of people these days who might benefit from that form of punishment/public ridicule.
Although the stocks may be a bit good for this guy.
