    I do enjoy watching the antics of idiots ...

    And the results of their idiocy.
    I guess it's my perverse sense of humor that finds
    things like this funny.
    Of course if he died it wouldn't be funny, but he didn't,
    he just fell into the sewer.
    Maybe an intelligence test in order to own a cell phone ?

    Happens a lot. People will walk or drive through barricades because that is the way they always go. Whenever we constructed wood barriers people would actually push on them and look for ways around before ever asking why it was there.
    As if they couldn't see for themselves.

      Look at it this way -- whoever left that manhole open and put that flimsy barrier there was doing his bit to raise the IQ of the human race.

        Apparently in Peru they don't suffer from having too many lawyers around..
        Backwards society by at least 50 years. "No common sense? You're at fault."

          I used to live in Peru. It's an interesting country -- and the Inca heritage is strong. The Incas thought if one person pays taxes, EVERYONE should pay taxes. There were of course beggars in Peru (as there are in every society.) The beggars were taxed on their only product -- lice. Each beggar had to turn over so many turkey quills of lice to the tax collector.

            I was going to ask, but have decided not to.
