Heard around town last week: “The decision to dry the Falls is being made by state officials that are all wet.”

People are predicting that the dewatering of the Falls will create a “tourism bonanza.” Uh huh, it’ll start a tourism trend. Next thing you know they’ll be filling in the Grand Canyon with gravel, removing the elevator from the Eiffel Tower and hiding the pyramids under sun shades.

Mayor Dyster and a pedophile walk into a bar. After ordering a round, the bartender looks at Dyster and says,”We do not serve people of your ilk in here.” Dyster responds,” I am the mayor and I have to have somewhere to drink.”
