Truck carrying Penny blanks crashed in Delaware

If it had happened in Chester the cleanup would have taken twenty minutes. The police would have stood aside; the populace is better-armed than they are, and more vicious.

In order to match the orneriness of Chester, you have to bring cops in from Philly.

Remember, Philly is where they pelt visiting coaches with ice balls, and boo Santa Claus. Philly non-cop people aren't usually hostile enough to be able to handle Chester.

 

You need Navy Seals in Chester. And also, starting a block to my left, as I sit typing this.

Some of you guys are just too funny. Thanks for the laughs this afternoon.

Dude, funny? Don't you know that dystopian post-apocalypse screenwriters come to Chester, PA to scout for ideas? Neither Quentin Tarantino nor M. Night Shaymalan will even set foot in Chester, 'cuz it creeps them out so badly; gives them nightmares.

 

There are even more dangerous parts of I-95 IMHO - ie around DC and in Florida. It is known as the coke corridor for a good reason.

 

Neither Wilmington nor Chester are places I'd live willingly, and I already live in a place where I go armed. I95 is a protected corridor thru both cities, though, and as a result this spill didn't turn into a pitched battle.

On one of the local streets, though, that spilled copper - down to the last planchet - would have been at the scrap yard within ninety minutes. This is the easiest place I've ever lived in which to dispose of anything solid; just leave it at the curb and some entrepreneur will vanish it within an hour or two.

 

No Pepsi or RC, then, huh?

 

If I recall correctly, it was sometime in the late 60's or early 70's that pro football stadiums stopped selling cans of beer. It was because the fans in the stands from New York would throw full cans at the opposing players.

Philly remains the only place they ever put a court of law within the stadium for faster processing of the miscreants.

 

And the judge who established "stadium court" was very recently "retired" from our Supreme Court for exchanging allegedly pornographic emails with prosecutorial friends.

 

Good old digital droppings, gets them everytime. Abt 15 years ago I worked in IT for a company, we had a rash of viruses coming into the company's servers, turned out we had a salesman that was viewing "naughty websites" on his computer, got it infected - attached to his email, which then went out with his email to everyone in the company - with the porn he was viewing. It was difficult to see him with a straight face after that.

 

PMS-70?

 

Wait, was the load in a US gov't vehicle? If not, wouldn't the planchet manufacturer need to file the auto insurance claim, not the Mint?
