vancouverites celebrate fun aspects of the boil-water advisory.

I found these people in a pot on my stove this morning! Good times, good times.
And for you, The Top Ten Things That Are Good About The Turbidity Crisis in Vancouver:
- Need an excuse to stay home from school, kiddies? DRINK UP.
- Sneaky non-flushers can escape discovery 50% of the time.
- Want to get “dirty in the shower, baby”? Easy. Turn on the tap.
- OCD sufferers not ostracized for a week because EVERYONE is dabbing at themselves with bottled water.
- Add a slice of lemon — and it could pass for iced tea. White Spot credited with this discovery.
- Constantly boiling water adds humidity to homes, thus saving residents from their usual parched-air suffering. NOT.
- A fun addition to those at-home versions of Fear Factor
- Non-coffee drinkers enjoyed spectacle of caffeine addicts denied Starbucks nourishment for 24 FULL HOURS.
- Hot tubbing? NOW A NECESSITY.
- You don’t have to shell out for a cruise to get the Norwalk Virus anymore!

So sorry. I hope it’s not expected to last much longer.

It’s pretty grim, Rich, but we’re surviving. I can send you a bottle of it if you like?

how long is this expected to last? sounds like this might be the perfect time for a roadtrip to less, er, turbid climates.
