Old geezer mistakes courgette for bomb, gets cops to investigate

A German fella has been left red in the face after mistaking a large courgette for an unexploded WWII bomb. 

To give the 81-year-old credit, the courgette was quite a big boy, weighing in at 5kgs and 40cm in length.  

The coppas stated the common garden vegetable "really did look like a bomb." 

Oh gourdy. 

Dad jokes aside, unexploded bombs are a relatively common occurence in Germany.

Just last May, fifty thousand had to be evacuated from Hannover after a dormant explosive was found.
