"The levees need to be repaired," said Lt. Gen. Strock. "Sand bags, stone pilings, and other reinforcements have all failed in trying to patch the breaches.

"And since the United States doesn't have the multi-billion dollar budgets of other countries, Roman Candy seems like the best way to go."

Initial tests to levee models seemed ineffective, but once Corps engineers removed the rolled wax paper surrounding the dense treat, they started to see results....

"I was thinking we should just get a bigger wad of chewing gum, but then Bob suggested we use Roman Candy. That guy is a genius."

Much, much more post-K N'Awlins satire there as well. This, remember, is the city that shaped my own dark, twisted sense of humor, as well as giving birth to Mr. Bill!
