A man believed to be the driver was able to squeeze out and was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, authorities said." I wonder what they were talking about when she got squashed. How awesome would it be if they were fighting and he was screaming at her "I HOPE YOU DIE YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" and then WHAM! |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 11,2006 10:47am - Josh_Martin ""] DreamingInExile said:once again, it brings the question to the table: Why does the government give jobs to the lowest bidder? A govt official was putting a project out to bid. Three contractors showed up, an American, a Pole, and a Jew. The American bid $50,000 on the job. "Not bad" said the govt official, "but let's see what the others bid." The pole bid $30,000. "That's a very good price" said the govt offical. But I still have one more bid to look at. The jew comes in with a bid of $130,000. "I must tell you" said the govt official, "that is much much higher than your competitors, would you mind explaining why your price is so high?" "Sure" said the jew. $50,000 for you, $50,000 for me, and $30,000 for the pollack to actually do all the work." |

Cause the tax payer wants to save money. They'd hire the best, but we'd end up paying for it (like instead of $2.10 to ride from Worcester to Boston it could be $5.10). |
| _______________________________ [Jul 11,2006 12:47pm - Yeti ""] i have heard that the tolls will be removed in 2017 |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 11,2006 1:04pm - Man_of_the_Century ""] I thought it was 2012, could be later. Ther did say that there will be no more increases in the price. |

That's some quality work there, the tunnel is how old and already falling apart? Hopefully they'll sue the fuck out the idiots that built it or better yet, try them for homicide. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 12:12pm - ram_girl ""] That specific one was done in 95...... City, people who built, suppliers, vendors are all subject to lawsuits now............and they are all going to be pointing fingers at one another.... |
