The following incident caught my attention because it occurred in McKeesport, which is right outside of Pittsburgh. This is where my mother grew up. My grandfather used to be mayor of a small suburb of McKeesport called Liberty Borough. I visited it often growing up. McKeesport is also where Andy Warhol grew up. Sadly, the city has gone way, way downhill ever since the steel mills closed, as evidenced by
this incident:
Police in McKeesport said a woman who needed to pass a work-related drug test was the reason behind a fake penis being microwaved at a convenience store. A clerk at the Giant Eagle Get-Go store along Lyle Boulevard told police that a man brought what appeared to be a severed penis into the store and asked her to microwave it Thursday night. But police said the item was actually a fake, hollow penis that a woman planned to use to pass a drug test. McKeesport Police Chief Joseph Pero said the woman's male companion had filled the device with his urine, which the woman somehow planned to pass off as hers for a drug test. The couple stopped at the convenience store to have the device microwaved because the woman wanted the device to be warmed up to something approaching body temperature -- as part of the drug-testing ruse. Police said they plan to charge the man and woman criminally, although the exact charges haven't been determined.
My main question is this: Why did the woman need a fake penis in order to pass a drug test? Does that make any sense at all?
Update: It's been pointed out to me that the news report misspelled the name of the road. It's Lysle Boulevard, not 'Lyle' Boulevard.

god, anymore questions this can rival Lost. NOT.
There was a famous argentinian soccer player
who had one and it's now in a museum somewhere
Really? What makes you think so?
Actually they don't call me sherlock at all, but thats another story 😊
Two things come to mind, and the first is that maybe this woman ordered one of these urine samples, and the second is, if so, why not just slip the sample under her arm for a minute to warm it up???
A man walked in and asked a female clerk if she (the clerk)could use the microwave to heat something up.
The clerk smelled unusual odor from the oven, the clerk opened the microwave to check on the wrapped item and out tumbled what appeared to be a severed human penis, wrapped up in the paper towel.
The guy flew out of the store and left the item behind. The clerk called police
