Two Old And One Bold

Why is it people don't want help from older people?

'Litter Vigilante' Cited For Trash Piles

Paul McCarthy, 62, said nobody else was cleaning up the trash and brush in his neighborhood, so in June he started doing it and calling the city to collect the piles



So wouldn't you think the city officials of Pittsburgh would be happy that someone was cleaning up their streets for free especially in times of tight budgets? Wrong!!

Pittsburgh officials have cited a self-styled litter vigilante for making debris piles on city sidewalks. A public works inspector gave McCarthy two citations on July 13, with unspecified fines.

McCarthy defended his actions and said litter on the ground negatively affected people's attitudes when they traveled through his neighborhood.

And the City Public Works Department's deputy director of operations thoughts:

"Some of the stuff he does, I think he does to aggravate us," Rob Kaczorowski, the city Public Works Department's deputy director of operations, was quoted as saying in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

So the Public Works staff "are put out because this is creating a little more work for them."

I don't know about you, but I enjoy walking through litter rather than around some piles stacked waiting to be picked up.

Government mentality at its best!!!!

Time to fade away into the sunset and die - you are no longer useful even when working for free.



Do you suppose it was a disappointing wedding night?

81-Year-Old Newlywed Disappears

An 81-year-old man who recently married his childhood sweetheart is missing.

Harrod proposed to Fontelle Heeter in 1950 but their relationship ended after he went off to serve with the Marines in the Korean War.

Both married others, had children, and were widowed. Recently Fontelle's daughter -- who had heard stories of her mother's first love -- tracked down Harrod's phone number and a reunion was arranged. The couple married in Orange County.

Fontelle returned to her Kansas City home to pack up her belongings and bring her dog to her new husband's Placentia home.

When she arrived on Wednesday, he was nowhere to be found.

My wife and I had words,
But I didn't get to use mine.

One can only wonder if maybe she was not the same girl he used to know.


Everyone loves to take a vacation right?

Woman demands refund for vacation spoiled by naked girls

A Serbian woman is demanding a full refund of her Greek vacation, not because of bed bugs or a noisy room, but because their room was next to a room occupied by 2 girls enjoying themselves on their balcony (naked).

It seems the girls were out on their balcony so often, that her husband suddenly had a similar urge to soak up some sun.

In addition to the black eyes the husband got from the wife, he also suffered a sore neck from enjoying the view so much.

I mean, really, what is there to see in Greece anyway? Well, more than I thought. Hello, Orbitz? What kind of rates do you have at that hotel?
