From the "almost too easy" category comes this quote in the kicker of a Times piece on presence of E. coli bacteria in Fire Island's water mains:

"Melissa Adams, co-owner of Le Dock in Fair Harbor, used plastic utensils and plates for lunch service, and planned to boil the silverware for dinner. But business was steady. 'It's Fire Island,' she said. 'People are used to improvising and going with the flow."

Yes, they've done it: They've snuck a diarrhea joke in there! This never would have happened when Al Siegal was alive.
