You can't make this stuff up:
A man's attempt to bring the ashes of his grandfather home to Indianapolis ended with an angry scene in a Florida airport, with the ashes spilled on the terminal floor.
John Gross, a resident of Indianapolis' south side, was leaving Florida with the remains of his grandfather -- Mario Mark Marcaletti, a Sicilian immigrant who worked for the Penn Central Railroad in central Indiana -- in a tightly sealed jar marked "Human Remains."
Gross said he didn't think he'd have a problem, until he ran into a TSA agent at the Orlando airport.
"They opened up my bag, and I told them, 'Please, be careful. These are my grandpa's ashes,'" Gross told RTV6's Norman Cox. "She picked up the jar. She opened it up.
I hope that bitch was fired.

Obit: Author and screenwriter Nora Ephron, 71, has died of pneumonia following a battle with leukemia. She was also ex-wife of journalist Carl Bernstein and had two sons with him.
She wrote scripts for several prominent films including Sleepless in Seattle, Silkwood, and When Harry Met Sally. She was a daughter of Hollywood screenwriters, and her three sisters are also writers.
She was nominated for the Academy Award for original screenplay three times: Silkwood, which lost out to Tender Mercies at the 1984 awards ceremony; When Harry Met Sally..., which lost to Dead Poets Society in 1990; and Sleepless in Seattle, which was defeated by The Piano in 1994.* She earned her most recent movie credit in 2009 with Julie & Julia, which starred Meryl Streep and Amy Adams._____
She also co-wrote the Broadway play Love, Loss & What I Wore with her sister Delia, and authored a handful of books, including I Remember Nothing: And Other Reflections and I Feel Bad About My Neck.
Rumors of Ephron's death first began circulating late Tuesday afternoon on Twitter, thanks in large part to a wowOwow column by Liz Smith that appeared to eulogize her. "I won’t say, 'Rest in peace, Nora,'" Smith wrote. "I will just ask 'What the hell will we do without you?'"
Who gives a shit, Lisa Jo? Just go back under the rock from which you came.
