Dead Meat
Diane Johnson, 74, of Ormond Beach, Fla., was pretty shocked by what she found in a pork loin she got at a local supermarket: a bullet. A spokesman for Publix grocery stores said the chain is perplexed: they scan their meat with a metal detector before it goes on the shelf. And he couldn’t explain how a bullet would get into grocery meat in the first place. But the store doesn’t have to brace for a lawsuit: “I don’t plan to sue anyone because no one got hurt,” Johnson said, noting she was quite satisfied with the $10 refund from the store — and a replacement roast. “I hope there’s no bullets in it,” she said. (AP) ...No lawsuit? Well there you have it: Florida really IS a strange place!
