Welcome to a new concept in manhole covers

Seriously? Its still round. Big deal, it has a hinge and a lock to make sure it doesn't go anywhere. But when was the last time you saw kids out in the street lifting manhole covers anyway?
If you're going to make a huge new announcement, make it worthwile. I know round objects are the only ones that cannot fall in on themselves, but give me something more creative. And did I mention that my company has nothing to do with manholes?
Dear Jay--
ReplyDeleteStealing manhole covers and selling them for scrap is a major industry in the third world, especially South America.
It turns tragic when small children fall into open manholes and die. Apparently, it happens all the time.
Around here, we have thieves cutting down phone lines to sell the copper. Lame!

I would have never known. Thank you Mikey for enlightening me.
ReplyDeleteI still find it odd that I received the message, but at least it does make more sense now.
