Franklin Goes Brown
Franklin Tennessee , BVD News - Franklin's City Sewer system had a containment breach over the weekend , causing several traffic accidents and flooding along Mack Hatcher. Governor of Franklin Jay Johnson explains what happened.
" Franklin 's affluent effluence is constantly on the increase. We have to put it somewhere , so naturally , we put it into the sewer. Only this time , the amount of effluent deposits exceeded the sewer's capacity. "
BVD : How do you explain the slippery road conditions at Cool Springs ?
Johnson : Wait , are you asking me about Mack Hatcher or Cool Springs ?
BVD : What's the difference ?
Johnson : Mack Hatcher roads are slippery because the sewer could'nt contain Franklin's effluence. Cool Springs is slippery because of the brown additive we put into the asphalt mix.
BVD : You're telling me , you had effluence put into the roads around Cool Springs ?
Jay : Hey , we had to put it somewhere. The EPA is watching.
BVD : Then , does this also explain the effluent smell at Franklin High School football games ?
