While not as deadly as baked beans or lumber, Play-Doh can still inspire fear. Consider:


Fayetteville police responded to a report of robbery in progress at Priscilla’s at 3800 Sycamore Dairy Road at about 12:41 p.m. Monday.

The situation ended peacefully after a little more than an hour, and no one was injured, although circumstances about the case were still unclear.

Rivera walked in to the business with what appeared to be a bomb, allowed two customers to leave and held a female store manager hostage, police Lt. David Sportsman said. …Authorities did not find an explosive device. The false bomb was made with Play-Doh, batteries and wire arranged like an explosive. The arrest report said the man carried a fake gun.


Dude must have been hard up, if all he had was Play-Doh and a dream.
