A late breaking report from the
New Orleans Police Department indicates that as of today there have been 35,000
reports of missing wallets among those who attended Sunday's Super Bowl game in
the NOLA Superdome.
When asked about this interesting
development, Mayor Mitch Landrieu
called it "an unfortunate moment" in what he said was an "otherwise shining
Super Bowl week" for New Orleans.When asked about the significance of the power being out
for 35 minutes and 35,000 wallets reported missing, the Mayor replied, "Just an
unfortunate coincidence."
The Mayor also cautioned that the
number might increase in the coming days as more people sober
up.
Other officials, who asked to
remain anonymous declared, "We are glad the power was not out any longer than it
was."
