MELBOURNE, Fla. -- Brevard County authorities said two furniture delivery men were arrested for pointing a water gun at a passing motorist.

The frightened woman thought it was a real gun and pulled into a store to call police.

Authorities tell the newspaper Florida Today that the driver pointed the water gun at the woman as a joke but said she didn't know that.

The two men were delivering furniture at a nearby residence when deputies stopped them. Their names aren't being released.

1. Dumb asses. This doesn't strike me as funny.

2. I've never seen a water gun that looks like a real gun.

I suppose there are, but when I was in Florida, water guns were shaped like dolphins and alligators and were colors like pink and green. Oh, well. I suppose it's not fun to have anything pointed at you while driving in Florida these days.
