No takers

A small Minnesota town has offered free home lots to anyone who wants them.  The offer has been available for the past three years but so far no one has accepted.  There would be about a $1000 fee for administrative costs and a house must be built but otherwise there's no catch to the free lot.

Jerking and Driving?

South Dakota has ended their "Don't Jerk and Drive" Campaign.  Apparently some didn't like the slogan and found it offensive.  It referred to jerking the wheel after sliding on ice.  Less jerking is safer because you don't have to correct after you've over-corrected.  Some thought it meant something else though and alluded to masturbation.  bad idea
