Laissez les bon temps roulez!
 
New Orleans dreamed up some new thrills-a-minute excitement yesterday when a foot bridge over the shark tank at the aquarium collapsed, dumping 10 tourists INTO the tank with the sharks. They were pulled out quickly, and fortunately, the only injuries were from artificial barnicles. Most are probably still incoherent however! How's THAT for lagniappe!!

<BR>The sharks were so scared they took off to other end of the tank!

How would you feel if a bunch of tourists right off Bourbon St dumped in on your house? Heck yes, those sharks shot to the other side of the tank - they're probably still tasting Hurricanes!!

The hand grenades are supposed to be the latest "in" drink on Bourbon St.

Yep - we saw lots of hand grenade drinks while in NO a few months ago, complete with a cute little hand grenade-shaped glass.

What does one wear to a shark tank, so as not to look like a tourist? A sharkskin suit?

Lafitte Aug 8th, 2002 08:19 AM

A suit would be nice, but once the locals noticed the beads it would all be in vain!
