Mango Madness

Today's title sounds like a good name for lipstick or maybe nail polish,or if nothing else a rock band. I was just wondering how long it would be before another Florida tale of insanity presented itself,and the wait is over! A couple were out celebrating their wedding anniversary in Fort Myers,FL when they came upon a ripe mango in the middle of the street. The man stopped his truck and got out but as he was approaching the fruit a nearby homeowner started yelling and threatened to shoot him if he touched the mango so he returned to his truck and drove off. When they stopped for the nearby stop sign the back window shattered and the woman who had yelled at him moments earlier was seen walking behind the vehicle with what looked like a rifle. The couple called 911 and deputies found a pellet gun in the woman's home. She was arrested and later released on $7,500 bond. The moral of the story is if you see a perfect example of any fruit in the middle of the road do not stop for it! It's a typical Florida fruit trap!
