Chicken Little

Jersey City, New Jersey, May 25, 2007:

A local politician believes a chunk of blue ice from the holding tank of an aircraft toilet ripped a hole in his roof and destroyed his bed.

Ronatarian Party founder and leader Ron was trimming his famous mustache when the ice crashed into the house Thursday night.

"It was a huge crash. It shook the whole building, but I thought it was a car," Ron said. "I almost cut my lip on that one."

Ron went outside to investigate but found nothing, so he returned to his mustache upkeep.

He didn't discover the chunk of ice on his bed and the 2-foot-wide hole in the ceiling until Friday morning.

"I passed out on the couch downstairs last night," Ron admitted.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said if the offending chunk of ice is from an airplane, then it is likely the cause of a leak in a holding tank of the aircraft's bathroom.

Blue ice occurs when waste leaks from a plane's bathroom onto the outside of the plane and freezes at high altitudes. The liquid begins to thaw as the plane descends, Gregor said.

"I don't care where the [expletive] it comes from or how it forms," Ron screamed, "I [expletive] want someone to fix what it broke...for free. I ain't gonna pay for that [expletive]!"
