Drought-Ravaged NYC Institutes Alternate-Side-Of-Street Firefighting

NEW YORK— Suffering from months of drought, New York City instituted alternate-side-of-the-street firefighting Monday. "On odd-numbered days, even-numbered buildings are not permitted to catch fire," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a press conference. "For those who fail to comply, we will not be able to put out your fire until the following morning. Your kind cooperation will help conserve water resources throughout the New York area."

Wow is that for reals? Thats alot of bull. Whoever implemented that rule or the group of people that implemented that rule is going to get fired after a couple of buildings get burned down and no one was sent to help them because it wasnt their designated day.

I\'ve got to a see a link to a reputable source confirming this to believe it. I don\'t think ANY politician would say something like that.

Shame on you guys for not suspecting that wacky site. ;)

I caught it immediately, too. Apparently a lot of people are having trouble telling the difference between what is real and what is fake over there...
