Congratulations Jeff
I drive past a rundown VFW on my way home from work every night. Today the "menu board" type sign outside on the road said "Congratulations Jeff". Should signs be allowed to contain "In" information? I understand if I pass a nice hall and it says "Congratulations Sally and Steve" on a Saturday night that Steve just sold his soul to the devil and some unlucky bastards are inside doing The Electric Slide while drunk Uncle Louie is hitting on the girl serving cold cocktail wienies. If it's late May or June I would expect that Jeff just graduated from either high school or college. However, when it's mid August and no other information is given, I'm left to wonder.....just what in the hell are we congratulating Jeff for? Did he finally pass those kidney stones? Did he go 3 days without forgetting who he is? Is he the owner's 1 year old who just started walking? What? What? What? I should just call and find out. How dare they tease innocent passerby'ers with this tidbit of information? Curse them. Curse them straight to heck! It makes me want to purchase a sign and plant it out on our main road. I would change it every day to spark curiosity in others. My first sign would say "Honk If You Know Jeff". While watching ESPN, NFL Network and Hannah Montana simultaneously - for every horn I heard honked, I'd run out and ask them if their Jeff did anything to be congratulated for. If this failed to work my second sign would say "Screw Jeff". Hmmmm, maybe I'll buy a set of letters and head down there tonight to change their sign. I remember when I worked at the BK Lounge as a youngster we had a double sided sign outside that read "Free Pepsi With Any Purchase" on both sides. Some creative hooligan took both sides off and put up a rather clever 1-sided sign. I was going to say Still A Dog could do this puzzle with his eyes closed......on second thought....where was Still A Dog on that fateful night?

I was in a gold 1968 Chrysler New Yorker driven by Al Cowlings on the way to Morgantown, WV at 40mph on US-119.
I rented that car from my cousin. I never even drove it.
They wasn't my dogs.
And that glove don't fit me.
