Where did the "Girl Toys" go?

For the past two weeks one of the topics of conversation was about a certain location on Rangeline near the Home Depot and next door to the best pizza place.  There is nothing left now but a pile of wood. But pre May 22nd this store was called Christie's Toy Box. Now mind you this was not full of children's toys by any means. Nope I am sure you are getting the picture. It was full of ladies undies and girl toys that need batteries. (I actually wondered in there one time with a bunch of crazy drunk ladies from a local courthouse. I must say that was a hoot.)
So my co-workers and I have all been rather curious as to what field these toys landed in. We imagined some old farmer finding g-strings hanging from the trees on his property or toys still in their boxes landing on someone porch like a gift from God. Yes it has been comical guessing where all these items had landed.
Well the mystery has been solved!! They ended up only a mile down the road scattered about in other tornado victims yards. Some didn't know what to do with the items and turned them into the police department. Some couldn't tell what these items were as if they were some crazy type of strange kitchen item they have never seen before.
So the police are advising anyone who encounters such "interesting objects" to take precautions when handling them and to treat them "to be blunt" like a bio hazard!! Yes folks you heard that right. Wear gloves for peat's sake. (Mind you these items had not been used prior to tornado.) Geez, I really do live in the bible belt. Gotta love SW Missouri!! (Mind you I am a Los Angeles transplant.)

LOL I'm sorry for the tornado victims, mind you. I can't imagine what that must have been like. It's just that it is like that in the 'Bible Belt'. The Jack Daniel's place is in a dry county! Go figure! LOL
Cute story!
