Reason Number One Why I Don't Go to Hot Springs

Police: Idaho Teen is Tied Up and Scalped

BOISE (AP) — A 16-year-old girl was allegedly tied up and scalped with a 4-inch knife in what police say may have been an act of revenge by another woman.
The girl, who had a punk-style mohawk haircut before the attack, is recovering at home. Doctors could not reattach her scalp, which was found near a hot spring.


I have a number of reasons why I don't stick my bottom in the many hot springs to be found around this part of Idaho. First and foremost is that funky shit goes down at hot springs. A guy was murdered at a hot spring about 10 miles west of the above-mentioned place a couple of years ago. Additionally, some people go to hot springs to get busy. Ya know. And why in the name of all that is holy would I want to put my nether regions anywhere near a place where someone just got all sticky? Another notable reason is that lots of people around here who hit the hot springs choose to do it naked. And believe you me, they're never people you want to see naked. It's usually an extremely hirsute redneck couple who brought several bottles of malt liquor and a pack of Trojans along with them.

So. In case you were thinking of asking me to go to a hot springs or something...
