The Reunion Trip:
Downtown York, PA - 11/12/99
Yipes!
With one swift push of the
crosswalk button,
residual effects of the 3 Mile Island nuclear incident were instantly released from the vast pockets of discarded pickle brine that accumulate beneath the sidewalks in Pennsylvania.

"Let's go to lunch before my face melts, too."
Holy gherkin!...a well-kept secret from those who "aren't from around here" anymore.
Radiation retained in gross quantities of Old pickle brine (discarded by Pennsylvanians who pickle anything) releases when sparked by the electric charge of an activated crosswalk light switch.
Locals have long avoided using the electronic crosswalk buttons, and post extensive written instructions to confound and deter use by visitors, who find that the light has changed by the time they finish reading the sign.
This
is a joke.
But many just as ridiculous stories are circulated on the internet as
truths.
