SINK HOLE DE MAYO!!!!!

Or… when life gives you lemons…

A couple of days ago in a busy neighborhood in Seattle a water main broke, causing a LARGE sink hole that completely swallowed two cars that had been unfortunately parked at that particular spot.

The construction crews came and blocked off the area making access to a local restaurant just about impossible. The restaurant had been planning a Cinco De Mayo party this weekend, but instead it was deserted.

Most would have just given up, but not this restaurant. Taking full advantage of all the media attention, they posted a large sign that said SINK HOLE DE MAYO!!!!! Now that's a sense of humor!

The restaurant still may not have had any customers for a few days, but they were featured on just about every local news station, which can't be bad for future business. What a great way to get free publicity!

So, when life gives you lemons, what do you do?
