Does ANYONE give a s***? Are you kidding me? A THREE PART SERIES By the Inky about deer in the suburbs!!!

Whattya say we go a step further and do a three part series on it?” Elephants rampaging through a restaurant in South Korea? Great news story. Deer loitering in people’s yards in Lower Merion? Not so great.

Josh’s car found
Josh, Where’s Your Car won at the Good Doctor’s on Monday night, but their joy was short-lived, as Josh’s car was found Tuesday morning-at the bottom of the Delaware river! Attempts to salvage the car from the river were nothing short of disastrous, as these photos can attest.
Did You Know…
The cliche “heads will roll” comes to us from Hitler? In 1930, he said that if the Nazi movement was victorious, their would be a tribunal to punish those who offered Germany’s surrender in WWI. “Then decapitated heads will roll in the sand.” (This from the Dictionary of Cliches, of which I am a proud owner.)
