Nasty, you rump wrangler you see what dross said?.. it's true but you had to take it further.. imagine.. getting a job: Jeans-Clad Mechanical Bottom Tests Car Seats: Nasty Gets A Job AMSTERDAM (Rooters) - A jeans-clad mechanical bottom is being used to test the durability of car seats at Japanese car giant Crappy Tire's manufacturing plant in Sunderland, Northeast England. The 'big bottom,' modeled on a 154-pound ass, slides onto the car seat, rubs back and forth three times, and then slides off, said Crappy Tire Europe, headquartered in an Amsterdam hovel. But as no ordinary jeans-wearing, 254-pound person could cope with such a task the test is repeated on each car 15,000 times without a break over a period of three days. "This is equivalent to 32 years of travelling to and from work almost an entire working life for many drivers," Crappy Tire Europe said. "However, tests are being slowed due to the person attached to the 154-pound ass. Nasty Nathanc keeps whining that he needs a break, that swinging into and out of the same car so frequently is putting a shine on his K-Mart special jeans. "He quietened down some after we told him we'd put DSGumby, pink tutu and TBird in the seat next to him permanently if he didn't shut his cake-hole."

Mailman Nasty Nathanc Crosses The Ethical Line BUCHAREST, Romania (Rooters) - Romanian postmen anxious to earn commissions by selling dark glasses for watching next week's solar eclipse have been selling them to impoverished pensioners and even to a blind girl, state television said. Police were investigating 24 complaints from people who said postmen had deducted the cost of the glasses before delivering their monthly pensions, the television said Tuesday. Among them was teenager Ana Pantioff, blind since birth, who receives a monthly allowance from the state equivalent to $2.00. "What am I supposed to with glasses for a daughter who cannot see?" her father, Solonius, told the television. The glasses cost just over a dollar and are distributed by the post office. According to the television, the manufacturer of the glasses has offered postmen a $300 commission if they sell 400 pairs. When contacted the manufacturer said that was $300 of empty TBird bottles. "We were given an order from above to do this as part of our job, and we intend to drink until our duty is fulfilled" said Hor Moan, post office head in Bistrita-Nasaud county, which is hundreds of kilometers north of the path of the total eclipse due on August 11. The eclipse will last two minutes, 23 seconds over much of central Romania.
