My favorite part:
"Uh, hi, yeah. Do you guys get paid for this?"
What kind of mud was it?
Old
Fascinating.
But it's old mud. You can squish it between your fingers just like they did in 1829. Kinda reminds me of the whole Geraldo Rivera and Jimmy Hoffa's vault it whatever it was.
It'll also be slightly-less-radioactive mud without the dust from nuclear weapons on it.
Those scamps at East Point have done it again.
