HWTFM and I took a short drive out to Jansch Nursery this afternoon — with Dog — to pick out this year’s tree. We usually get one with a ball so we can plant it in the yard afterward, rather than wasting a perfectly good tree.
In front of a little church along the way, the sign said, "Behold a virgin will bare a child."
Naturally, the image that flashed through my mind was the traditional acting-out of the nativity scene by young children in the church, with perhaps a 7 year-old Mary un-swaddling the baby doll that always gets to play Jesus.
You may have uncovered an entrepreneurial opportunity for someone to develop marquees and billboards with built-in spell checkers.
Ah, but no spell checker would have caught that one, since “bare” is a legitimate word. Probably not what the pastor meant to say, though.
Touche.
LOL! That reminds me of a bridal boutique we once saw where the marquee said “Bridle”. Too bad they caught it and corrected it before we could snap a photo…. (Of course, the change ruled out any intentional designs the owners had for a “Western Bridal & Tack Boutique”!
Welcome to Wartburg, the armpit of the world.
This wasn’t quite in Wartburg… more like Petros/Joyner. And, while it might be different from Oak Ridge, I certainly wouldn’t qualify it as the armpit of the world. I think Detroit already has claim to that classification.
This has nothing to do with your post but, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy B-day, Netmom.
Nope it’s the Burg NM, not Detroit.
According to a Co-worker from the area which you speak, ” The only Virgins in Morgan County are ugly third graders”
And another thing…. I have been in the Armpit of America….. Fort Smith Arkansas.
