NEW ORLEANS, FEB 25, 2009 -- Another successful celebration of Farti Gras, a religious holiday where people drink themselves into oblivion and engage in debauchery in the streets, promises to boost the sagging economy, some say. The hiring of janitors to clean up pools of vomit and physicians to treat veneral diseases could stimulate the economy to stir itself out of its stupor.
What's more, pointed out official sources who asked to remain anonymous, robberies, burglaries and theft committed to fuel the drinking and drug binges can stimulate local businesses to work harder to make up for their losses. In addition, police officers who accept bribes will have more discretionary income to spend, further stimulating economic growth.
Each year, New Orleans is host to college students and others who haven't matured since college drawn to the wild, unbridled drinking and public nudity of Farti Gras like flies to dog filth.
New Orleans is home not only to the annual Farti Gras celebration, it is also recognized as one of the nation's capitals of police corruption, murder and pagan "voo-doody."
