Dateline Northern Virginia: In a move unprecedented in building history, a Northern Virginia builder, too humble to be named, has decided to bury one downspout on every new house built.
This one fabulous yet ordinary downspout will be dedicated to providing water to a parched region of the world, Mongolia. It will discharge its water into a tube sent directly there. Such a thing has never been attempted before.
When reached for comment, Lead Supervisor, "Skate," said: "Like, yeah, you know, um dude, I mean they are like thirsty there. We wanna like give back y'know."
When asked what part of Mongolia the water was directed to Skate did not know. In fact he didn't know exactly where Mongolia is, but was sure the downspout goes right there.
These photos show the buried and dedicated downspout on this particular house, both before sod and then again after the carefully-cut sod placement.
"We want it, to um, like look good for the buyer, you know, so the sod is cut just right," Skate said. "Now is the perfect time of year boink that sod down dude!"
When reached for his comment, local Mongol leader, one Genghis Khan LXXXVIII, had this to say, "Zov, zov, bi camd hapt khairtai! Minii zurkh zovkhan Amerik I toolooh zhokhildogd. Sain baina uu hun labdd uuchlaarai bayartai zugeer! Udahgui uulziya, daraa nandartailaa medeghui yamar unetei we!"
Translated that says, "Yes, yes, our lives are changed forever! We are ecstatic with the advent of water from the wondrous and charitable American home builder. Our people here in Hun Valley will be forever grateful! Now we can drink dihydrogen monoxide from plastic bottles like the rest of the world!"
A close up of the bottles sent to be used for this newly-found water can be seen here.
"Yo, bayarlalaa bi zamzarilik Amerik hun, hun!" Genghis was heard to say.
Translated that means, "Yo, that is one really handsome American dude, dude!"
With that, and a broad smile and twinkle in his eye, he turned on his steppe horse and rode off, bottle in hand.
Skate could not be reached for comment as to just how those bottles got to Mongolia.
