What would you do?

Here’s the scenario-

I go to a restaurant to grab a quick lunch before heading home from the dock.
I order a soda water w/lime and a burger and head to the bathroom to wash my hands after being at the dock all morning.  So after trying to open the mens room door I find it locked so I step aside and wait for whoever is in there to finish thier business (always an akward situation).
The fella opens the door and storms past me and I head in only to find a ginormous crap in the bowl. It was so big it curled around the bowl like a freaking python.

Now I wasn’t going in there to pinch a loaf, I was simply going in to wash my hands but now it’s gonna look like it was me that left that huge steamy turd.

I tried to flush the toilet using my foot but it wouldn’t go down.

Would you alert the manager and risk them thinking it was you that left the present behind or would you ignore it as if you never saw it?

Home Price Article From the Wall Street Journal and GMG House Price Poll

Home Prices Sink Again, but Pace Is a Bit Slower Drop of 18.6% for February Is Widespread, With Half of Markets Posting Steeper Declines Than in the Previous Month

By SUDEEP REDDY Home prices fell sharply in February, but for the first time in 16 months the annual pace of deterioration slowed. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller index measuring home prices across 20 major cities declined 18.6% in February from a year earlier. That marked a slight improvement from January’s 19% annual decline, but half of the cities posted deeper declines than in prior months. On a monthly basis, home prices fell 2.2% from January.

I wonder if interest rates crept up if things would get seriously ugly around here.

I’m shocked that there hasn’t been a big woosh down but it seems like the big time problem areas in the country are the places where there was a ton of open land to build on and the low interest rates fueled an explosion in supply of new homes.

It will be interesting to see what comes next.

I keep hearing of more and more layoffs but hardly see anyone losing their homes.

Either the banks are keeping the foreclosures a great big secret or they just arent happening as rapidly as I would have thought with all the job losses.

I have no idea how a young family affords a house and health insurance these days.

What do you think will happen with local home prices?

What Type of Dipper Are You?

I’m trying to figure out if it’s a generational thing with men or not but I notice that many of my elders heap the hell out of thier chips or crackers when dipping.  They mound the things over and struggle to keep the dip on the chip without it spilling over the sides when bringing the chip or cracker up to thier mouth.  Younger people don’t seem to do this from what I see.  What type of dipper are you?
