There was once a man that truly despised lawyers. For fun, he would jump up and down repeatedly on a manhole cover counting. One day he was doing this and each time he jumped he said "31 31 31 31 31" over and over again. A lawyer walked by and asked him what he was doing. He explained to the lawyer that a fortune teller had informed him that today the planets were in alignment and if he did this simple but silly routine he would win the lottery the very next day. The lawyer laughed but asked if he could give it a shot. The man said sure and allowed the lawyer to jump on the manhole cover and repeat "31 31 31 31" over and over again. As soon as the lawyer started jumping, the man pulled off the manhole cover, the lawyer fell in, he replaced the manhole cover and started jumping up and down on it repeating "32 32 32 32."

>We were walking around Santana Row in San Jose (a shopping area built last year) when I saw something interesting. As I looked at the Manhole Covers (a thick round metal plate that covers access from the street to the sewer) I noticed something interesting that I have never seen previously! There were about a half dozen of them in one area and each one said “Made in India”! Not one was locally made as they have been in the past.
