For a Valentine’s Day date you’ll never forget, New York’s Environmental Protection Department is offering romantic tours of the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brooklyn.
Plant superintendant Jim Pynn promises visitors a romantic, fun-filled and rather unconventional tour of the Newtown Creek sewage plant this Valentine's Day.
The tour includes the 53-acre sewage plant, great views of the Manhattan skyline, and you’ll even see the egg-shaped “digesters” that break down noxious waste into sludge and gas. Plus, unlike the regular monthly tours, each Valentine visitor gets a Hershey Kiss.
I would be scared of that. I would think the term "Hershey Kiss" has a completely different meaning to a sewerage worker.
Besides, why would a woman want to go on this tour? If she really wants to see something egg-shaped digest noxious waste into sludge and gas, she could just stay home and stare at her husband.
He's Always Going To Be The Butt Of Jokes
Police in Cheshire, England, released video footage of a bumbling arsonist, Michael Morgan, who was seen bicycling to the door of a pub and pouring gasoline through the mail slot on the door. He then tossed in a match and turned to run. But the doorway exploded, shooting flames through the slot and igniting Morgan's butt as he tried to flee. The pub suffered minimal damage. Morgan got 2 and a half years in jail.
Here is a still shot from the surveillance video. Look carefully and you can see flames where the seat of his pants caught fire as he was peddling away.
The worse news for this guy is in prison, he's going to be known as "the new guy with the hot butt".
Not Since 1979...
Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City is in the hospital but expected to recover fully after surviving a bad car crash this week. Friends say she’s lucky to be alive, but she’s devastated because she broke off all her fingernails in the crash, which cost her her claim to fame. She hadn’t cut them since 1979, and each nail was nearly three feet long. It got her into the Guinness Book of World Records and made her a minor celebrity. She once turned down $90,000 to clip them on live TV. She said they didn’t interfere with her daily life, although when asked how she used the bathroom, she replied, “Very carefully.” Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
But they're pretty sure is wasn't texting while driving.
OY!
Yesterday, Mitt Romney won nearly half the votes in the Florida Republican primary, more than Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum combined. But all the candidates still vowed to stay in
the race. Many called it the nastiest campaign ever, including a claim that Romney wanted to make elderly Jewish Holocaust survivors on state benefits to give up their Kosher meals. Exit polls showed that Romney came in first among almost all demographics, including seniors, Latinos and even Tea Party conservatives, who think he's the most likely to beat Obama. One thing that hurt Gingrich is that women abandoned him in droves. Men viewed him favorably by a 2-1 margin while women split 50-50.
50 percent said Newt reminded them of their ex-husband, and 50 percent said Newt WAS their ex-husband.
I knew it was a bad idea for him to campaign on Miami Beach in a Speedo.
Meanwhile, On The Democratic Side......
In an online town hall meeting this week, a Texas woman asked President Obama why her computer engineer husband hadn't found a job in three years. Obama told her to send him her husbands' resume and he'd see if he could figure out what was wrong.
...and if anybody knows about finding a job with a thin resume and no qualifications........
