Hwy. 78 hmmmm's
Things one contemplates while driving to Tupelo, Mississippi:
- If you are applying for an on-air job at a classical music radio station, one of the interview questions should be to pronounce the word "pianist" to make sure it doesn't sound like "penis."
- Two trailer-homes next to each other on the side of the highway: one, a Pentecostal church; the other, a fireworks stand. Coincidence or relationship?
- Do plastic flowers on the side of the highway in the shape of a wreath or a cross really make people drive any safer?
- Is there some kind of ordinance that requires all seafood restaurants in the state of Mississippi to have huge catfish on their signs? Like, HUGE. Like, three-times the size of my car. Which, BTW, is actual size of catfish in the state of Mississippi, I believe.
- Tupelo, please quit trying to claim Elvis. He was from "MEN-phus." End of story. So knock it off.
- And lastly, how did I end up in a career that keeps requiring me to show up at THREE A.M.???
