As Seen in the City

I saw a flatbed tow truck the other day with the slogan "We don't want an arm and a leg, we just want your tows." Seriously. Today a saw a similar tow truck (it may be the same one, hard to say really) with an ambulance on the back. It did not appear to be smashed up, for all I know it just had engine trouble. I just hope it wasn't responding to a call at the time.

In wacked out international news, the deputy mayor of Dehli was killed by a pack of semi-tame monkeys. In India, monkeys are sacred and they occur frequently in and around temple complexes were people feed them nuts and bananas to bring good luck. But apparently not even the hindu monkey god likes politicians.

Which is odd, really because the god in question is associated with wisdom, valour, and strength, and is a friend to humans, at least according to Wikipedia, and so doesn't seem particularly likely to smite someone.
