Combine laziness with bad timing, and this is what happens. Last Sunday, a bus was going over a bridge in Chicago when the driver apparently decided to dump its sewage. (PoopReporters have heard
that kind of story before.) Unfortunately, there was a boat underneath the bridge. In what must have been nothing short of horrifying, "
the sewage splashed onto the boat and into the eyes and mouths of tourists."
Now, police have a suspect: The Dave Matthews Band. The Sun-Times only says "
a rock band" is suspected, but
Drudge and others name names. No one thinks the band itself did it -- it's either a criminally negligent driver or a faulty valve of some sort -- but it's fun for the media to get celebrities involved.
So the police investigated. From Drudge:
"'There is no way I could be responsible for that,' Fitzpatrick said from downstate Effingham. 'I haven't emptied the tank for days. Besides, we are very cautious about how we do that sort of thing.'
"To bolster his case, Fitzpatrick coaxed Sgt. Paul Gardner of the Effingham Police Department to inspect the bus. He then gave Gardner his cell phone to tell a reporter that the tank was nearly full."
Stay tuned...
