Man Buys Smoker, Finds Human Leg Inside
Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Maiden, N.C. (AP) --

A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first.

Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.

The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.

The mother explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery. The mother said her son plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

JESUS CHRIST. What kind of freak do you have to be to keep your amputated leg? And how stupid do you have to be to LEAVE IT IN A SMOKER?

The grotesqueness, it burns.

Okay, you'd have to be a freak to want to keep the leg... but the smoker actually makes a certain sick sense. After all, how better to preserve your amputated leg than to smoke it? You wouldn't want to have it in your freezer, you wouldn't have room for your latest deer roast. :P

No, I got that part. It was the forgetting about it part. I mean... wouldn't you think he'd remember putting his own amputated leg in there?

I keep breaking out in snickers every time I think about it. This is one of those things that makes you go, "What? What? WHAT?"

I'm wondering why you'd *keep* your amputated leg. Having had body parts removed... I can say I'm not much for *keeping* them. Smoked or not. *shudders*

Seriously. Gah.

I mean, I think I kept my baby teeth when they fell out when I was four... for about two days. :)
