So I'm doing this remodeling job downtown, and the owner is telling me that the building used to be the old newspaper office. The basement is where they had the printing press.
"Must've been a pain getting all that equipment out of here," I said, looking at the steps going up.
"That's not the half of it. They must have had about 5,000 lbs of linotype stacked up down here, and it took us three days to get it all hauled to the dump."
What a waste. It's probably buried in a landfill.
Where's the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering Kaboom.

The worst part is that us taxpayers will probably end up paying millions of $$ to get the lino back out of the dump, so it can be dumped someplace else.

Ditto montana charlie!
where is it!
Long gone, I'm afraid. This happened when the guy bought the building a few years ago. (Don't you know I'd've been a dump diving fool if I'd known about it when it happened!)Originally Posted by Blammer

I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
I dunno about that. If it were me, I'd feel glad that I married the right girl...

Well, that really did it for me - thanks a lot.

In my high school (circa 1966-70), we pretty well could imagine where the cheerleaders would end up.
