*** Never heard it, but the event was true enough. It was a barge
containing garbage from Philadelphia. Somebody had cooked up a deal to
dump it somewhere in the Caribbean until word leaked out and the
goivernment of whatever country it was stepped in. Then it was off to
somewhere else and so on and so on. I forget where it actually did end
up, but near the end it came back to Philadelphia again.
