Here's Your Sign

I went to go pick up the kids yesterday evening, and as I pulled onto the main street of the upscale subdivision where Reba's mom and dad live, I noticed the little information sign. It's very discrete and pretty, with a stacked stone base and frame, and a nice illuminated board under glass with changeable letters where the neighborhood announces meetings and such.

Yesterday's note of interest? First line--

H O LADIES MEETING 7 PM

They say brevity is the soul of wit, but sometimes a little too much brev can get in the way.

(Maybe next time a couple of punctuation marks would help, or maybe it might be a good thing to go ahead and take the time to spell out "home owner." Then again, maybe I just don't know all there is to know about Tutwiler Farms...)

Oh my. Will there be a pimp daddy meeting next week? Please keep us informed.

You can count on it. Whether you want to or not.

Are you sure it wasn't just a model railroader's club?

It very well could have been, Skinnydan, but when you can instead work in a reference to crude popular urban culture, well...
