IT’S AS HANDY AS HAVING THE RIGHT TOOL

A WORKSHOP TELEPHONE is as handy as having the right tool. No more running upstairs to take calls. At your fingertips when you want to call for supplies. And a wall telephone hangs within easy reach, yet doesn’t take up working space. Call the telephone business office today.

Are you willing to give up your mobile device?

WESTERN COWBOY RELOADS

When I was 4 years old, I had an imaginary Cowboy friend. His name was Tex. One summer day my neighbor across the street was sitting in her breezeway with a female friend I hadn’t met before. They were laughing a lot and loudly. I walked up to them and the friend thought I was adorable and she asked me my name and I told her and I introduced her to my friend, Tex, “He’s a Cowboy” motioning with both arms to the air at my right. They laughed a lot and loudly.

Tex died that day. They killed Tex.

Man: Hello, BAD POSTCARDS? I’ve been a fan of your site for a long time. Every day I wait with anticipation to see what lovely postcard you are going to publish.  As I was sitting in my den reading the latest issue of Field and Stream, I suddenly realized that last December you posted your 10 baddest postcards from 2010. Are you going to do that for 2011?

BP: Yes, sir. I have chosen 10 of my favorite BAD POSTCARDS from this year and I will start posting them tomorrow, December 27 — TWO PER DAY ending on December 31.
