In Washington, somebody took the term “give only what you can” a little too far when they donated a stick of dynamite to the First Presbyterian Church of Kelso’s garage sale drive. The pastor was sorting through items preparing for their yearly Christmas party when he came upon the stick of dynamite sitting on a bookcase all by itself. Police were alerted and the bomb squad was called in to assess the situation. The stick of dynamite was carefully removed and the church was checked for clues and other possible explosives. Authorities believe that the dynamite was not left there with malicious intent, but instead donated by somebody who actually thought it would be a good idea to sell the explosive at the church’s garage sale. Who and where the dynamite came from is still a mystery, but after getting the clean bill of health, the church proceeded with their annual Christmas party and everybody had a blast.
