Yellow water in Yellowstone

Re: Is nothing sacred, issue No. 347:

Apparently not, as the latest affront comes from two guys in Yellowstone National Park who went wee-wee in the Old Faithful geyser.


You saw that right. The AP said delicately they were “watering” the geyser.

Hey, they weren’t keeping the garden roses moist with an aluminum can. That’s “watering.” Draining the weasel in a national monument is something else.

At least these two clowns got punished. They were seasonal concession employees, and they got canned. One was also fined $750, the other guy’s case is pending.

Serves ’em right. In fact, they’re lucky.

If Old Faithful had spurted up unexpectedly, they would have been scalded in a very sensitive place.

Now that would have given the elk something to bugle over!

Wouldn't it have been righteous if Old Faithful had wee'd BACK on them?
Talk about a tourist attraction! I'd pay money to see that.

It's all George Bush's fault.

Oh, Anne and Mack, as a certified Hindist priest of the Nicheridoo Shitzu Academy and youth minister I will light a joss stick for your healing. You see, the lads weren't being disrespectful to Old Faithful. They were trying to bond with the oneness of creation, and, like, you know, stuff, by holding their own little old faithfuls to share in the Earth Mother blessings of the greater Old Faithful. It's all in the Bhagavad-Gita.
