The original photo is from the 1954 Atomic Frontier Days Parade in Richland.<\/p>\n

One can imagine what happened with this float. Someone was probably telling the designer and Franklin County officials that it wouldn’t work, that the lightning bolt needed support.<\/p>\n

“No,” said the Franklin County officials, “it must stand erect without support.”<\/p>\n

For whatever phallic reason.<\/p>\n

Then the morning of the parade, as the car started and began to pull the float, the lightning bolt toppled and hit the Virgin Princess’ head.<\/p>\n

Thus the ladder.<\/p>\n
