Man Holes

China has a man-hole problem. There is finally truth to the fear that some people have of walking over a man hole and falling in. In China this might just happen to you.

On the way to work today I noticed something strange: there was a giant hole in the middle of the street! I asked a friend about it and she said that people in China STEAL - yes STEAL - man hole covers and sell them for money. I thought this was a rare occurrence, but she said it's not. While this is the first time I've seen this happen, or I should say noticed, it is probably a more prominent occurrence in other areas that aren't so populated and are less affluent.

Just imagine - you're walking along the street listening to music or playing your PSP and wham, you're down a man hole. Down at the bottom you'd probably run into several other unlucky civilians who just happened to take this exact path that you did. Then you all wait there, probably with a broken leg or two, for the cops to show up to get you out. Incredible.

Put your gloves on and borrow your neighbors truck - lets all go out and make a few extra bucks stealing man hole covers. Hey, we'll get one hell of a laugh out of it too!
