Toyota Bomb Scare Turns Out To Be A Nigerian Inventor

Mailroom employees at the Toyota Manufacturing Plant in Putnam County first noticed the suspicious package on the Monday.

It had no return address and a Nigerian postmark.

They contacted local police, and the package was put in a van in the middle of a field on the plant's property in Buffalo, said Sgt. K.S. Dickson with the Winfield State Police detachment.

Employees acted with caution, and police and bomb squads were called in for each package, which were revealed Wednesday to be test models for a turn signal invented by a Nigerian man.

Are you an idiot. Do you think only you can invent things? Give credit to people from other countries too. How narrow minded can you be.

Why don't they invent something to make stupid ass people learn to use their turn signals when turning and changing lanes. What is more annoying is when they cut you off or use no signal to get into the turning lane and wait till they get into the turning lane and then turn on their turn signal. You are in the turning lane now so we know you are turning dumbass, why not signal to others you are moving into that lane. Or how about that slow ass driver in front of you. You signal and get into the left turning lane and accelerate and he cuts right in front of you going slow as hell and uses no signal.
