Mayor Declares Potholes Public Landmarks

San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed has declared that 34 of the city's pothole will be designated public landmarks.

The mayor stressed how important it was to maintain the city's heritage.

"These potholes have been with this city for as long as I can remember. It's important to preserve them for future generations to enjoy."

When asked if this was just a ploy to avoid the responsibility of repairing them he angrily remarked, "I'll bet you'd want to restore the Alamo too? Huh?!"

Sam Siminson said teary-eyed, "I swerve around this pothole every day! Sometimes I forget and spill steaming hot coffee all over my crotch..I don't know what I'd do if it was gone."
