Strange Folks ...

I did an ad for a client's web site (a restaurant) and it was for a four-day special at their take-out counter. It was a celebration of the one-year anniversary of their take-out door service.

The ad had one special that offered a third of a rack of barbecued ribs for $4.99 ea.

The "ea." was there in the ad and on the web page, right after the price.

Below it read "From 1 to 100 - just tell us how many you need for your dinner or your party."

People called in and asked "If I get twenty, all it will cost is four-ninety-nine?"

One lady asked if she ordered one hundred orders would she have to add a tip on the five dollar charge.

The servers were instructed to say that the caller should read the ad again and notice the "each" next to the price.

Ah! American education needs a stimulus!

The painting I am just about to finish is a major change. I am chuffed, as they say in real football (soccer) when your team wins a match. It is really good.
OK. I finished it. Go see it at my web site (www.jondude.com/artforsale.htm. Bottom row, right.

.................

Labor Day weekend is the birthday of three of my four cats. Satchel will be 9. Rosie will be 8. Doobie a.k.a. "Baby" will be 3.

Hobbie wants to host a MyBloggerstown birthday party online for them. How about some input here. Hobbie wants to know if you would participate.

We could have it on Friday, Saturday or Sunday night. Which would suit you?

Of course, just like the old days over at Bugsterville, you can supply your own photos of the food you bring, your liquid refreshments, Limo, Costumes, Dance routines, BBQ machines, etc.

Hobbes promises not to get all lit up like the last time and we will do our best to keep the Sheriff and the deputies away this time.

Comments are welcome and solicited.
