People, we've gone over this before. Stay out of Buckingham Fountain. It is not a kiddie pool or a water park. Act like adults. Not that any of this stopped a trio - a 25-year-old man and two women, 20 and 19 - from jumping in. The trio were arrested last night around 6:20 p.m. after police saw them climbing and swimming in the fountain. Really? That was either one hell of a drug trip or they were huge fans of Married With Children.
