More Things to Worry About on Wednesday
Puzzle solved: Why would an employer hire back a guy convicted two yrs ago of stealing $2m from him? (Answer: It's a car dealership, and car dealerships need business types like him, with his, er, skills-set.) Skagit Valley Herald (Mount Vernon, Wash.)
A United Airlines bartend—er, flight attendant—allegedly overserved booze to a passenger, and the man's wife is suing because he then got drunk and roughed her up. Chicago Tribune
Andres Cantu, 55, was arrested in Pharr, Tex., for allegedly molesting two young relatives (which came to light when one, a 9-yr-old girl, responding to a class assignment, wrote that her "wish list" for Santa was that the guy stop fondling 'em). The Monitor (McAllen, Tex.)
Pauline McCook of Isle of Sheppey, England, reported that someone stole her life-size statue of Al Capone. (Buried lede: WTF is a woman in England doing with a life-size statue of Al Capone in her yard?) BBC News
Good for them: The gov't of China, rushing to shore up its manufacturing standards, announced it was banning, effective immediately, lye and boric acid as food additives. Associated Press via Rocky Mount (N.C.) Telegram
A $2 million downtown improvement project in Winters, Calif., has drawn criticism because its pedestrian traffic barriers look way too phallic. KOVR-TV (Sacramento)

Car Dealership - I always suspected that car salesmen were crooks! 😊
Al Capone - Who wouldn't want a lifesize statue of Al Capone? I personally would go for a collection of all the famous prohibition era gangsters, and have them positioned for a shootout with some G men statues on the othe side of my yard.
Food additives - When I linked to this story, the google ads at the bottom told me to stop treating yeast infections with boric acid. Are there people actually doing that? :ohh:
Phallic barriers - you only see what you want to see. Some people think skyscrapers are overly phallic, should we stop making those? What about lighthouses?

For the love of cock, people. Don't be dicks about the pedestrian traffic knobs. They were erected for your safety! Don't complain when they start appearing as images from your own repressed sexuality.
Lye and boric acid - Good thinking, guys. (Can you hear me rolling my eyes?)

Phallic Barriers Sound like someone dicked that decision up! But, really, any long tubular shape can be labeled "phallic". Sounds like someone's nephew didn't get the contract!
Wish List Santa came early this year. Good for him!
over served booze Someone seriously needs to take responsibility for their own actions!
Car Dealership Would you believe that there is an "Honest Ziggy's Used Cars" in Fort Myers! http://honestziggys.com/

Watching the news story vid on the phallicky posts makes me think our local newspeeps aren't really as bad as I think they are.

"wish list" for Santa
That's funny...my Christmas wish is that somebody would be compelled to molest me.

overserved booze to a passenger
This stupid bitch is going to ruin it for all of us who like to drink on flights and can handle it. Maybe she should look into AA for her sad ass husband.
