5. Funny image from 2002 Olympics

I live in Salt Lake and I recall one funny image I saw will walking by an Olympic venue one afternoon during the games. I saw hundreds and hundreds of tiny nail files strewn all over the street. You could keep the clippers, but those dangerous 1.5 inch nail files had to go.
