HEH. YOU SAID, 'DICK.'
Willie Drye, author of Storm of the Century: The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and commentator on the History Channel's "Nature's Fury: Storm of the Century" episode of the series "Violent Earth," sent this e-mail after visiting the Sunshine State recently:
Jeff:
I saw this on U.S. 27 in Suwannee County when I was down there a few weeks ago.
It took a moment to make the connection between a septic tank service billboard and the phrase "No. 1 in the No. 2 business" and then I nearly ran into the ditch.Later,
Willie
We know how you feel, Willie.
We went to the BrandonShoppingtownmallTownCenterWestfieldShoppingPlazaMall this weekend to see the big "new wing" that was being unveiled with lots of unopened shops and restaurants.
They include this sports equipment retailer.
Not a big crowd yet, as you can see.
Maybe people just aren't looking close enough.
Like we said, Willie, we know how you feel.
