Two Bridges Too Many

The only real way to get from downtown Charleston, also known as the Holy City, to Mt. Pleasant, also known as Mt. Pleasant, is to use the bridges. There’s the old one and the new one. The old one is not for chickenshits. Now, they are going to spend 500 million dollars for a new bridge, That mean they have two bridges too many.

What too do? Sell the old ones. Hell, for ten million dollars it’s a steal. There’s a whole lot of scrap metal in those bridges. In fact, for 6 million, it’s a steal. It’s a steal at 2 and free, you haul it away. No one has stolen them yet.

The original, the Grace Memorial, was built as a toll bridge. It went bankrupt. Why? Because there were only 12 people in Mt. Pleasant then. Who wanted to go there? No one. The county took it over. Now there’s 45,000 people there and everyone wants to go there. Unfortunately, they all want to go there at 5 o’clock and it’s a bitch.

Okay, the new New bridge will solve that problem for a year or two but what to do with the old ones ? They will look terrible if left there to rust away. No one wants them at any price.

The latest idea floating around is to float them out into the ocean and make an artificial reef. I guess you can’t make a natural reef from steel and iron. Actually, it’s just a place to dump them but this way they fool the environmental freaks.

“We are going to provide a breeding space for fragile sea creatures”, says the leaders of the communities.

Jeez, where are they breeding now, not that I really want to know and neither do you. What we’ll get is a hiding place for sharks.
