Hoax Hilarity

The people in the library might think I'm crazy, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading this headline and first paragraph from an article in today's Wall Street Journal:

Bizarre Hoaxes On Restaurants Trigger Lawsuits

The restaurant industry is struggling to get in front of a bizarre hoax in which outlet managers across the country have been duped into strip-searching employees or customers.

Basically, a guy has been calling restaurants pretending to be a police officer and telling managers that they need to strip-search people. He even got one manager to perform a cavity search. I'd link to the article, but WSJ is subscribers-only.
