Dunkin Domers

There's something medieval about a dunk tank.
There's something medieval about a dunk tank. There will be a little humiliation served cold along with the appreciation at next Wednesday's City Employee Appreciation Picnic (And Karaoke).

Public Affairs estimates 1,600 employees will be at the event, which could provide for a lot of dunks for Jack Becker and Arlington Rodgers of Public Works, PWP's Eric Klinkner, Safety Officer Tom Lopez and Public Health Director Takashi Wada.

Dr. Wada holds a doctorate in being super nice.They'd generate much more interest if they'd gotten some electeds up there. Or the pols might have come if they'd brought out the Aaron Proctor Spanking Machine.

But Dr. Takashi? He's just too cute to want to heap abuse upon. And I don't know much of anything about Jack Becker, but perhaps he's the scourge of many a Public Works crew. Hmmmm ... I might be able to channel my latent rage over gross overbilling by PWP ~five years ago to gun for some Klinkner.

Who else should be on this list?
