MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- Milwaukee will spend $2 million on a filtering system at a wastewater treatment plant in an effort to stop condoms from floating into Lake Michigan.

The issue drew attention in June when a fisherman said he saw hundreds of spent condoms in the Milwaukee harbor, prompting the state attorney general to threaten to prosecute the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Commission over the problem.

Where do I sign up? Condom scoopers make over $100,000 a year this days? When I was in high school I got $1.60 an hour (and all the eels I wanted) for cleaning catch basins for the NYC Dept. of Parks.
