MEMES

This reminded me of something in the story I posted a while back of the history of the Jacuzzi family.

"...This was why he [Paulo] took the top job at Jason [Industries, formed after a split in the family business] in 2015 after years of working at an addiction center in Texas. "Besides," he added, leaning forward and adopting an exaggerated Italian American accent, gesturing with his hand contracted like a closed tulip, "he made me an offer I couldn't refuse."
 

EXACTLY!
I have never seen a better illustration of my attitude towards school & the education I was receiving from about the 4th-8th grades.
So much of it seemed so esoteric and irrelevant to the real world. So why would I care - or even PRETEND to care? Because the teachers said I should? Never made sense to me...

Thanks Rudi, that told me the same locale as my earlier post.
Googled Indian Hills and found many pics of the same marquee.
Good stuff.

I like the one that says "A perfectionist walked into a bar.
Apparently it wasn't set high enough."

Vince Rozmiarek is "Vince the Sign Guy". I don't know what they put in the water there, (pop. 1,280) but I think I want some :)

Here's his website.

And just one of many articles on him, from back in 2018:
...Seven years ago, when Rozmiarek started volunteering at the community center, one of his first tasks was to build a new sign for announcements, weddings and other notes of interest.Two years later, on April Fool's Day, he decided to post a joke.

He said there's a popular speed trap nearby on Highway 285 in Morrison, so he placed letters reading "Indian Hills annexed by Morrison, SLOW DOWN" on the sign as a prank.

"I got several phone calls — one from the police department asking what was going on in Indian Hills," he said. "I explained it was an April Fool's prank and that I would pull it down at the end of the day. They said 'Thanks, we just need to know what to tell people.' Thus, it began."

Most of Rozmiarek's neighbors and passersby love the sign and its humorous phrases, he said. He changes the sign two to three times a week and never repeats sayings...​
