You’ve got to love this town. While contractors were trying to build a new driveway last week, they came upon some human remains:
Two human femur bones found by sewer excavators in Provincetown last Wednesday ignited rumors that made their way to Shop Therapy owner Ronny Hazel while he was in New York.
The juiciest details placed Hazel at the center of the skeletal discovery, where it was said teen-agers from the 1970s had unearthed a body and delivered a skull to him for drugs or money and then buried the remains nearby.
This week Hazel joked about receiving at least 50 phone calls about the rumor, with as many variations, some involving a Mafia burial ground.
Hazel said he has sold Tibetan monk heads, imported from Nepal, for at least 20 years. He also acknowledged having a shop in the neighborhood where the bones were discovered. After thinking about it a bit on Tuesday, though, Hazel said any connection to last week’s discovery was “highly unlikely.”
But not impossible.
A DOLE CLASSIC: A great come-back to D’Amato at the Reagan funeral:
It was in this vein that Mr. Dole and Mr. D’Amato teased each other, and it was just a matter of time before Mr. D’Amato brought up Viagra, the potency drug for which Mr. Dole is a noted pitchman. Mr. D’Amato told him there was now something even better on the market, called Levitra.
“Does it give you hair?” Mr. Dole asked.
No one does the barbed response better than Dole.
