     People sure act mighty peculiar around water fountains when the temperatures get steamy!! This is Katie G. reporting...

Cameras rolling in three...two...one....

Katie G. , here once again...this time I am in front

of the library, where the only fountain in the city, for miles

on this hot, humid, August afternoon....

Just an ordinary fountain, nothing unusual about it, but once

the water is turned on...it has a strange effect on people...

Let's take our cameras over to the fountain now....

I see a little girl walking around the fountain and she has

a bright red package in her hand...

"What's you got in your hand?"

"Koolaid! I'm gonna make some now! I like cherry Koolaid!"

"You can't do that! There are all sorts of chemicals in there

besides who knows what else!! Don't do it, little girl!!!"

She sticks her tongue out at me and rips open the Kool Aid,

pours it into the fountain and dips her glass in the water.

Before, she brings the glass to her lips, I throw it to the ground...

"Are you deaf? I told you, don't drink the water! It's not

fit for drinking!!"

"I'm thirsty!!"

"Here's a couple of dollars. Go over to 7-11 and get a soda...My treat!!

Don't drink that dirty water...Now look what you've done!!

The fountain is all red now!!"

"Can you believe this? It's a silly fountain! What's up with these crazies?? Water sure does funny things to people. The

heat must be frying their brain!!"

"Let's take our camera over to this man with the shopping cart."

"Hey, mister! What you got in the cart?"

"My whole life and my laundry. It's laundry day. I am

gonna wash my clothes here!", he reaches inside the

shopping cart and starts to throw his clothes in the fountain...along with some detergent...

"You can't do that! Get those clothes out of there! Besides

didn't you see the little girl put the Kool aid in there earlier?"

"Oh that's okay. I like red. It will be a refreshing change."

"I have to wait for the spin cycle before I can dry my clothes."

"Spin cycle? What spin cycle? This is a fountain, not a washing machine. Go to the laundra mat, crazy man! Besides

this water is not for washing clothes, its for decoration!"

"Well, I say it's for washing MY CLOTHES!!"

"Whatever you say, crazy man...Just don't come crying to me

when your laundry is all red and smelling like koolaid and

whatever else is in that dirty fountain..."

"Can you believe these people? How crazy can they be?

I spoke too soon!!

There are a bunch of teenagers in diving gear ....

"What you doing?"

"We are diving for coins! We want money!"

"Well, get a job!"

"That's too hard!! We want easy money! There must

be hundred down there!!" the boys point to the money

and dive in the fountain...not realizing how shallow the water

is....

I hear sirens as the ambulance arrives to take the silly

fools out of the fountain and to the emergency room...

Another hot day in August ....

How much sillier can people get around a fountain....

come back tomorrow  ....

it just gets wierder and wierder!!!

 

this is Katie G. reporting ...
