This story was one I wanted to use on the TODAY SHOW when they came to Maine for the bi-cenntennial, but, Jim Hartz thought it was not appropriate. Anyway.. a farmer noticed that his well water was tasting odd, so, he sent a sample out to be tested. Very soon, he was visited by an engineer, who came to inspect his property. Noticing that the well was close to the cess-pool, he told the farmer that he would have to quit using the well, or the cesspool. Farmer thought, I can get by without the cess pool, so, he quit using it. And.. 3 days later, the well dried up.
