    It was an even bigger surprise to me to learn that McCain's chips contain real potato!

    Mechanized potato harvesters just pick up lumps out of the ground, doesn't matter whether the lump is a potato , dirt clod, or hand grenade. Until the dirt is washed out, it's impossible to tell what the lump is. Given the size and shape of a grenade, the dud rate (around 5-10%) and the fact that a lot of WW1 and WW2 battles were fought on farmland, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

    We're 60+ years separated from WW2, and they're still finding unexpxloded 500 Lb bombs. There were a lot more hand grenades thrown than bombs dropped.

    Finding that thing would be a real "pants-full" moment.

    Going to a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
