Police don't yet know who was at fault when a car with five kids collided with a van, killing an 82-yr-old and sending a 72-yr-old to the hospital, but they do know that the kids got tired of waiting for the cops and rescuers to clear the area and so put in a food order for accident-scene delivery.

pole-dancer on the back For $300 bucks an hour, I'll get on that pole. Might not be erotic but I can guarantee it will be entertaining.
