Here goes: After the fascinating discovery that watching the slits on a pier could cause one to fall into the water, everybody was trying it. One day, a certain pay toilet company realized that there was money to be had and bought some piers (and naturally charged 10 cents admission to anyone who wanted to walk on or off them). As an extra incentive, workers at the local mill would bake snacks to sell hungry customers. The response was overwhelming! People flooded the piers and officials from the pay toilet would have to use Barnumesqe tactics to keep the throngs moving so that more could pay to walk the piers. That is why today if you go to visit those piers, you can see the sign: ------------------------------- ! ! ! IF YOU'VE GOT THE DIME, ! ! ! ! WE'VE GOT THE PIER. ! ! ! ! MILLERS' CAKES TOO! ! ! ! ! COULD YOU HURRY THROUGH? ! ! ! ------------------------------- If that doesn't have you holding your nose and running into the sunset, I don't know what will.
