A woman, worried about crime, started to carry a hand-gun. Five months 
after she'd begun carrying her gun she came out to her car in a dark 
parking lot and found it occupied by four men. She ordered them out. They 
refused to move; she pulled her gun. Instantly four doors popped open and 
her car's occupants fled into the night. Then, as she started to load her 
groceries into the car, she noticed her car (same make and model) parked 
three spots away. 

Got in trouble for watching a woman breast feed her baby at the mall, she 
got mad and told her husband to beat the shit out of me....now I admit the 
flashbulb may have made the baby cry.... 

Tuesday's Wall Street Journal has an article about the Dutch takeover
of JFK airport's International Arrivals building. The Dutch have some
interesting ideas on how to clean it up: 
In Amsterdam, the tile under Schiphol's urinals would pass inspection
in an operating room. But nobody notices. What everybody does notice
is that each urinal has a fly in it. Look harder, and the fly turns
into the black outline of a fly, etched into the porcelain. 
"It improves the aim," says Aad Kieboom. "If a man sees a fly, he aims
at it." Mr. Kieboom, an economist, directs Schiphol's own building
expansion. His staff conducted fly-in-urinal trials and found that
etchings reduce spillage by 80%. 
"We will put flies in the urinals -- yes," Jan Jansen says in a back
office at the Arrivals Building. He is the new Dutch general manager,
the boss as of noon today. "It gives a guy something to think about.
That's the perfect example of process control." 
His New York public relations attendant titters. "Fine, laugh at me,"
Mr. Jansen says. "It works."
