Cops: Accused Prostitute Offered Undercover Officer Sex For Cheeseburgers Off McDonald's Dollar Menu
The woman, the detective reported, replied that the pair “could go have sexual intercourse if I bought her two double cheese burgers off the dollar menu at McDonald’s.” The cop added, “I agreed to the deal and purchased the hamburgers for $2.75.”

Anyhoo, about ten years ago I notice that my office hadn't been cleaned or vacuumed in a couple of days. After a few more, I commented on it to the floor supervisor.
Turns out there had been a change in the cleaning crew and the lady who was cleaning my side of the floor was Haitian and believed in Santería. She saw the duende in my office and thought I was into some bad juju. She wouldn't enter my office.
They switched her to a different floor and everything was fine.
True story. The end.
Except that you're still into the bad juju.
Cool. I had a print of Whistler’s “Girl in White” and Da Vinci’s “Ginevra de Benci” in my office. I would turn Ginevra around sometimes because she looked like she was thinking I was fat.
You guys have me beat. I just have Munch’s “The Scream” I printed out and stuck on the wall one day....
That may explain a lot.
Seems you'd have wanted to have the complete set. Was Edvard Munch's work too pricey for you?
You need to get with the times. Today it's all about Munch's "The Facepalm".
Hard to beat Leonardo. I veered away from the classics. I'll look for some office photos tomorrow. On the walls, I have a Jerry Garcia portrait (a giclée by Grace Slick), some Markus Pierson (my favorite is 'Black Tie Blue Coyote'), and three Ron Burns acrylics (one each, some day, for Ichi, Ni, and San).
I knew some people who practiced Santeria and tried to extort stuff from me by virtue of the eye-rolling ferocious stares (giggle.) I’m still here. I don’t know where they are now. Now, bad juju is another thing entirely....
P.S. That is a very attractive duende.
P.P.S. Is anyone experienced re: exploding toilet tanks?
If I lack experience, I can always make something up.
What’s your question?
How did they come up with the name X-ray? This question has been often asked in high school physics classes. Some teacher will tell it is that physicist lack a scene of humor on physicist part. But I say we can’t know, according to Heisenberg we can not know both the name and how we got it at the same time.
Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the varsity swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
It wasn’t Heisenberg, it was Roentgen.
With a name like Roentgen, you’re not going to have anything sexy named after you. And he didn’t.
For the right kind of bribe, I’ll tell you how to get X-rays from Scotch tape.
Toilet tanks are not supposed to explode. No doubt you were aware of this already, but what I mean is that nothing in the design or function of a standard toilet would occasion this action.
Under normal circumstances, water is valved into the tank to maintain a certain level there. Flushing the toilet merely allows the water to flow, assisted only by gravity, into and through the bowl of the toilet. At no time is anything other than atmospheric pressure involved.
Only if pranksters or unwary attendants expose chemical adulterants into the otherwise sanitary water could there be the possibility of a chemical reaction -- the aforementioned "exploding toilet tank".
Absent those factors, another possibility enters the mix; it is possible your toilet is not a standard one.
Because of poor flow designs and attempts to reduce water usage, some toilets have been designed to allow water to enter a pressurized tank container, and release the water with a pressure assist, when the toilet is flushed.
These are technically more complicated, but only normal town water pressure should be involved. Even so, at times the results are a bit more enthusiastic than was presumably intended, causing excess splashing, alarm, and noise. A competent plumber with experience should be able to adjust the settings, or find a way to reduce the pressures.
I shall leave speculation about the possible action of poltergeists and such to others.
Yes, all that is possible but how about a kid with a bunch of m-80’s
That’s covered under the third paragraph category of “pranksters”.
I know how to get them using a taser but your hints intrigue me.
I shall send you a private message.
