You’ll trade me what for a pair of shoes?!?
I came across this supposedly real news article, but I don’t have a link to prove its validity. Nonetheless, given the other weird news I’ve come across, I can believe it.
Police were hoping for a good turnout at their “Kicks for Guns” sneaker exchange Friday, but they weren’t expecting to get a surface-to-air missile launcher. An Ocoee man showed up and exchanged the 4-foot-long launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter. Taking advantage of the exchange’s no-questions-asked policy, the man was not identified. He told the Orlando Sentinel that he found the weapon in a shed he tore down last week.

I wish I had more info. I mean, how do you tear down a shed and happen to find a missile launcher? That just doesn’t happen. There has to be more to the story…
