[Shotimes] OT alternate modes of transportation (was "My Bologna" song)

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

To push an OT topic even farther OT...

When the Toledo police started using horses around downtown,
the secretaries at office buildings started scooping up the free
fertilizer for their plants in the offices.  It was nothing to see
two women dart out into the street from both sides, trying to get
to the droppings first.  I've heard there were more than a few
catfights too.
