A pothole on Commonwealth Place, so large that it can be seen from outer space, yesterday exposed the long lost ruins of Fort Pitt dating from the 1760s.
Mayor Ravenstahl credits the discovery to the failure of the Department of Public Works to do its job. “This momentous archeological find should silence all the bellyachers who complain the city has too many potholes,” explained the mayor.

Ravenstahl said the city will preserve all potholes until they are examined by special archeologists, who will drive city-owned take-home cars. “I’m hoping we find something really old, like dating from the Reagan administration,” said the mayor.
