Dildo closes highway

A �suspicious package� that caused a major southwest Florida highway to be closed for over an hour this week turned out not to be a pipe bomb - but a plastic, foot-long penis that had been wrapped in duct tape and left on an overpass.

Police alerted the bomb squad, which used a robot to "disable" the fake penis.  Florida Interstate 75 was closed for about an hour before the all clear was sounded.

The only clue as to the owner of the package is a mysterious one:  "Happy Fathers Day" was inscribed on the package.
