Henpecking and Long List of Honey-Do's Prove Too Much For Freed Workers
Copiapo, Chile (CHN) - Nearly all of the Miners recently rescued from the collapsed San Jose Copper Mine have now returned to the peace and seclusion of the underground crevasse that trapped them for nearly 70 days. The 5 miners that have not returned to the shaft are reportedly happily single or with women other than their wives.

Florencio Avalos, the first miner rescued, reportedly returned to the mine even prior to all 33 men being rescued.
Codelco, the state owned mining company in charge of the San Jose site, spent nearly 20 million dollars on the rescue effort. Company representatives say the effort was clearly a waste from the get go.

"We knew that freeing the men was a mistake; we saw the women that were here at Camp Hope. Let's just say these are not the types that you hurry home to," said an anonymous representative from the Chilean Interior Ministry that oversaw the operation.
He continued, "They (the wives) kept telling us to 'hurry up' and wanted us to answer all sorts of questions about what went wrong; I mean, I guess I'm just lucky to be single."
With a majority of the men back underground, an October 25th celebration dinner with President Sebastian Pinera is now in limbo and could be relocated to the mine shaft itself.
Franklin Lobos, the President's official spokesman expressed sadness that the dinner was likely to be canceled. "President Pinera wanted nothing more than to have a large party with the first lady present," said Lobos via a state press conference. He went on to disclose that, "The President must now do the right thing and visit the underground mine for a few days alone. He regretfully admits that it may be too dirty and unsafe for his beloved wife to join him".

I went for the Sea bass and stayed for the copper.
Even though they chose to return- the rescuers were truly the Dream Team of rescueing. I hope to join them when they are honored for their Olympic size accomplishment.
