How It's made - Manhole Covers

Nov 29, 2007 4 Replies

I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant last night. My fortune cookie said "Events that will secure your fame as "the human Tiddly-wink" are coming together in a Pittsburgh manhole cover factory". I think i should stay home.

True story. When I was a kid, 55 years ago, my mother sent me to the grocery store with a small list of items she wanted to buy. There was one item on the list the grocer couldn't understand what she wanted, one box of manhole covers. So the grocer call mother on the phone for some help. She wanted a box of sanitary pads, manhole covers. Mr. Bill
