Thanks, Alex
I actually tried several combinations after hearing part of the story on our local news, but couldn't find it. Maybe it was too soon, or something. And the stupid story still doesn't tell me WHO was throwing the laptops.
That was what I wondered. Were the employees flinging them at people to keep the crowds back, or were shoppers throwing them in the air, and for what?
Weird....
Thanks, both you guys.

When you visit the Zoo -
do you wonder exactly what's on the minds of the monkeys gleefully pissing on the watchers?
Sometimes the precise psych name for a certain variety of Madness is ~ irrelevant, y'know?
(I'll bet that, were these $100 kitchen knives marked down to $7.99 + 18 rebates; and someone tossed one of the 3 way up in the air: several would be waiting right underneath to Get Theirs. Hmmmm. if they fell just right - maybe 3 Darwin Awards for one knife: thus making it too, into Guiness: some sort of Trifecta?)

Nope
Monkeys aren't supposed to make sense, but people are.

You left out the obvious: Employees throwing them in the air
Featherbrain hoots: That was what I wondered. Were the employees flinging them at people to keep the crowds back, or were shoppers throwing them in the air, and for what? Why didn't you mention the possibility that springs immediately to mind: That it was the employees throwing them in the air, for a kind of lottery as to which customer catches one? (Haven't you ever been to a wedding? Hey, haven't you had one -- what did you do with your bouquet?)

True
Featherbrain hoots:That was what I wondered. Were the employees flinging them at people to keep the crowds back, or were shoppers throwing them in the air, and for what? Why didn't you mention the possibility that springs immediately to mind: That it was the employees throwing them in the air, for a kind of lottery as to which customer catches one? Actually, yes I did think about that... only problem was, these are laptops. Not conducive to being thrown and or dropped... wouldn't they break if someone missed them? So to me, the employees throwing them didn't make any sense. (Haven't you ever been to a wedding? Hey, haven't you had one -- what did you do with your bouquet?) I did a sexy choreographed garter removal process to the song, "She's Got Legs", showing a lot of leg, and then as follows suit, tossed my bouquet. But bouquets don't break or have little sensitive electronics inside. ;) Brenda

But man, what if they hit someone on the head, I mean imagine the lawsuits!
Ah well, people really do stupid things sometimes.
