I found this sign advertising the owner's prowess at fixing cars… and his lack of proficiency with them big words.
Anti-Date-Rape Glass
Pick up lines not working so well?… try roofies… or maybe not. That's right your sure-fire way of getting the girl (ie Druging her) may be going the way of the dinosaur, well, at least if one inventor has his way. Tom Martin created a "hollow" glass — a glass inside of a glass missing the bottom. Something tossed into the center of the cup will simply fall through while the beverage can be sipped at the sides. Ingenious but probably too expensive for adoption at the dives -er- local establishments where the college kids hang out.
Land Of My Sojourn
I came across this old gem from Rich Mullins. I love the intermixed use of imagery and allusion. And the coal trucks come a-runnin' With their bellies full of coal And their big wheels a-hummin' Down this road that lies open like the soul of a woman Who hid the spies who were lookin' For the land of the milk and the honey And this road she is a woman She was made from a rib Cut from the sides of these mountains Oh these great sleeping Adams Who are lonely even here in paradise Lonely for somebody to kiss them and I'll sing my song, and I'll sing my song In the land of my sojourn Continue reading
Viva Las Vegas
We'll be in Vegas all next week working out some new investment strategies… next week: Beating The House…. Just kidding. About the lesson. We don't plan on sharing how we beat the house. :D

And finally, last but certainly not least. Here is a copy of a memo, I created – in homage to Office Space – back when I was working for AT&T. Anyone that screwed up received multiple copies of this memo. And yes, on my last day with AT&T, I treated my team to the epic saga: Office Space. Aah, those were the days, Corporate America!
