Joke of the Week A portable restroom driver was pulled over by a cop for speeding. The cop started to lecture the driver about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the driver uncomfortable. Finally, the cop got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The driver said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The cop stop ped writing the ticket and said,"Well, yeah, if that's what they are. I've never heard of circle flies." So the driver says, "Well, circle flies are common around portable restrooms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found cir cling around the waste in a porta - potty."

Considering there is no stairway to the attic space of the structure, it is believed that the man scaled the walls of the toi let stalls and would climb through an opening in the ceiling to access his home. Report edly, the "residence" was "quite neat and tidy," featuring an electric heater, a gas stove, and the man's clothing. The most unusual items found in the loft by police were "at least 300 bottles filled with what appeared to be Yamanouchi's ur ine," which is exceptionally odd given the dwelling's location.
