Did you hear this story? - (it is true, and verified) -
A Florida man traded a surface-to-air missile launcher for Reeboks.
The Orlando, Fla., police held a "Kicks for Guns" sneaker exchange Friday, but they weren't expecting to get a surface-to-air missile launcher.
An Ocoee, Fla., man showed up and exchanged the 4-foot-long launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter.
The man took advantage of the exchange's no-questions-asked policy, and was not identified.
Unbelievably, the mystery man said he discovered the launcher in a shed he was tearing down and tried to take it to three dumps to get rid of it, and they all turned him away.
In addition to the missile launcher, police collected more than 250 guns. They were all exchanged for sneakers or $50 gift certificates.
Merry Christmas and a happy BOOM, BOOM to you!!

Wow I think they were really smart~ I would never have thought people would turn in guns for shoes! How in the WORLD do people get a hold of a missile launcher is beyond my comprehension.
Unbelievable!
LOL Some people's priorities. That was a perfectly good rocket launcher!! Just Kidding. That is unbelievable!
Ha, that's very funny Jeff!!
Wow. They were really smart to do the no questions asked thing. It probably encouraged a lot of people to come in. Especially the ex-taliban guy with the missile launcher. Isn't FL where the pilots trained for 9/11? yikes.
