Who ever said the news wasn't entertaining??



I was laughing my butt off last night as I watched the 11:00 news.

Apparently, there was some water main break in the city of Lynn. Naturally camera crews were there to catch the action.

The newscaster introduced the story, and then cut to video footage. The first thing shown was, nor surprisingly, the flooded street. Next up was some footage of workmen standing around, doing nothing to quell the rush of water. They were all laughing about something, yucking it up. Suddenly, there was audio and one of the workmen quipped, "Yeah, he's a fuc#$%@in' Asshole." (Of course, with the thick Boston accent, it was pronounced "aaahhhhs-hole.") With this, the other workmen all started breaking into these big, vicious chortles." The video ended abruptly and the cameras went immediately back to the newscaster in the studio. The guy looked stunned, and tried to seamlessly head into the next story.

Hilarious.

Classic. I hope that ends up in some "best of" show so I can catch it!
