Title: Trouble Afoot

From Buffalo there brews
The most distressing news;
A foot was found
In trash sent down
And nobody seems to know whose

QuoteHuman foot found among Toronto trash
Updated: Tue Aug. 04 2009 9:16:15 AM

ctvtoronto.ca

A human foot has been found among mounds of trash brought to Buffalo from a transfer station in Toronto.

Toronto police received a call from authorities in the U.S. informing them of the discovery at about 9:15 p.m. on Monday.

The foot was found by an employee of the Buffalo transfer station while he was sorting recyclable materials on a conveyor belt. It is unknown if the foot belongs to a man or a woman.

Toronto police spokesperson Const. Tony Vella told ctvtoronto.ca.  it is "unclear at this time" when the Toronto waste was transferred to Buffalo.

Toronto went without garbage collection for five weeks because of a civic strike.

Over the weekend, cleaning crews collected 25,000 tonnes of trash that had been dumped at garbage sites throughout the city. By 1 a.m. Sunday, crews had cleared the last bags.

Torontonians had the option of dumping their trash at 26 temporary sites that were set up in neighbourhood parks or dropping off a limited number of bags at transfer stations that were being monitored by picketers.

Regular curb-side garbage and recycling collection resumes today.

Vella said he's not clear which Toronto police division is investigating the incident.

The foot was being held at a U.S. medical examiner's office.

Someone did put their foot down. That's the problem.

Anyway, accepting our garbage simply improves the tone of Buffalo - *they* should be paying *us*.  :D

Yeah, but I think they eat that shit in Buffalo, too.  I used to work with a chick from Buffalo and she wistfully pined for a garbage plate from time to time.

Rotting severed feet found in the garbage tends to have that effect on Québécois.  :P

You do realize that Nick Tahou's is in Rochester and not Buffalo, right?  :)

And a garbage plate is basically a picnic on a platter. I was going to poke fun at Kentucky but than I realized it isn't known for anything other than inbreeding.

A careful reader of my posts will discern that nowhere did I say I wouldn't eat a garbage plate.  You are confusing me with the snobbish Malthus. ^_^

Too hard to pronounce.

We don't need any more foreign stuff in Michigan.  We're already looking at the probable future site of Guantanamo Bay Heights in Standish.

I think we should do The Running Man with those guys.  We can send them to California and let the Governor manage the program. :)

Hey, we in Toronto could just buy up some of those $1 houses in Detroit and turn them into dump sites. We'd be doing Detroit a favour, really.  ;)

Well....ok.  Cash only, though.  By the way, that's a dollar AMERICAN, not a dollar Canadian.
