Chongqing China has begun to use outdoor toilets on it’s famous “Foreigners’ Street”. The pubic toilets cover a mans privates but not his face, which has obviously aroused some curiosity. Local guards and employees in the area have used the outdoor restrooms, but most men find it much too embarrassing to use. The womens version of the outdoor bathroom covers the person entirely.
Maybe this will become a new CSI technique:
Robert Russel Moore, 33, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the burglary of an Arby’s in Prince Frederick, Md this past October. Moore was the assistant manager of the restaurant and was identified by clues from the surveillance tape.
Employees of the Arby’s said they recognized the burglar’s body shape, clothing and, when he bent over, the distinctive top portion of his buttocks, as being those of Moore. The owner of the restaurant said he had had to counsel Moore “more than once” about the inadvertent exposure of his butt crack.
First of all, why would this guy rob the store he worked at as an assistant manager? and two- if he is so “identifiable” why risk it? Lets call him the butt crack robber shall we.
Joshua Shores, 34, a Subway restaurant employee in North Platte, Neb., who was allegedly caught on surveillance video pocketing the $502 he was supposed to drop into the restaurant’s safe, tried to tell police and a judge in August not to worry, that he is not a thief but an undercover CIA operative and that the agency would reimburse the money.
He had lost his CIA badge, he said, which is why he was working at the Subway, waiting for the agency to send him a new one.
Outrageous Medicine
In July, India’s Medical Association began investigating three doctors who appeared on television to promote their amputation services specifically to beggars, whose income prospects grow with the more sympathy they engender. One doctor said he would remove a leg below the knee, leaving it fairly easy to fit a prosthetic, for the equivalent of about $200.
It seems that the Head of the Department of Culture in Vrancea county, Romania- Paraschiv Usturoiu, has come up with a unique way to save the government money.
Romanian civil servants were recently told to use newspaper and magazines instead of toilet paper. Usturoiu stated “I can’t afford to buy toilet paper any more, so I cut some local newspapers into pieces and placed them in the toilets. I’m sure they’ll work just fine.”
Employees are offended and outraged, claiming that it’s degrading and that they could hurt themselves or get infected from the ink used for printing the newspapers and magazines. Employees have asked their boss to reconsider.
This kind of government cut could really hurt.
