What's So Funny

On January 13, 1994, former City Commissioner Harry Powell, in an attempt to stop construction of the Navy housing project at Peary Court, took over a construction trailer with what he claimed was dynamite with a dead man’s switch. After a nine-hour standoff he was taken into custody and charged with armed burglary and possession of a destructive device.  Shel Silversteen wrote and recorded this (somewhat inaccurate) song about the incident.
