THE PLANT
MAINTENANCE MAN

"Who would know more about possible overflows?" you ask.

Roger takes you to see Ted Thompson, head of factory maintenance.

"Ted, since we started operations, did the sewer here by the factory ever overflow?"

 

"Nope," Ted says.

"Are you sure?" Carolyn asks.

"Yep."

"How can you be sure?" Carolyn wants to know.

"Because it can only overflow during storms. And ever' time there was a storm, I stood there and watched it," Ted says.

 

 

 

 

"Why?"

"To make sure it didn't overflow," Ted explains patiently. "That might not be good, eh? I played in that park, and so will my grandkids."
