Found via Google and the Reuters Oddly Enough News:
Woman Finds Brand New Grenade In Backyard (Link should open in new window, sign-in not required)
Particularly, the quote from the police spokesperson is what is quite thoroughly boggling my mind. I'm trying to visualise finding a 'spent' grenade (in the meaning of the term, spent ordnance).
Gunny McAllister (c. 1972): When you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.
Jayne: Some grenades would be nice.

Or, if you prefer, a paraquote from The Jerk:
