This week's avatar: alternate headings

Mayor Chen proudly announced that the recent upgrades made the bridge the safest in the region.  After the ceremonial walk by the mayor and his family, the bridge reopened to truck traffic.

After enough generations the clumsy had eliminated themselves from the gene pool, and soon to everyone's amazement tiny, backwards Island Village grew prosperous from the famous and celebrated dancers, acrobats, and bomb-squad technicians it produced.

In some places the proper use of electrical lines is poorly understood.

We are proud to present the new Terrorist Proof Bridge. Now with no place to plant a bomb.

China leading the way in ecological engineering - wooden bridges with no wood, reducing the number of tree cut down. It also makes money!

If you fall to your death, your family will receive a littering ticket and will be made to clean the mess!

Wait till we find the bastard who keeps stealing the decking!

After all that the villagers were horrified to find that upon closer inspection, the grass actually wasn't greener on this side.

Okay, we have a winner   

Vertigo Bridge

Ungrateful bastards complaining about a couple of missing planks!  Back in my day, wooden planks hadn't even been invented yet and there was only a tightrope you had to balance on to get across the river - and it was a 45 degree angle uphill both ways.  

Why did the village cross the bridge?

Why did the village cross the bridge?

Because it was there.

To promote a better society by eliminating the weak and the clumsy. 

Crossing the bridge was safer than dealing with the local roads.

To buy dog meat on sale at the WalMart in the next village.

...and this is the handicapped-accessible section.

Hold on dad, I'll get you across safely..

As clearly shown in this photo, crowds at the beach are only a fraction of what was expected.
