Happy Easter!

2004-04-11 Thread Devine, James
notes from life in Southern California:
 
1. Surreal: when I drive to or from work, I pass a pizza parlor which has very strange 
slogans on their sign. This week's one said Eat More Pizza Right Meow.
 
2. Sinister: across Pacific Coast Highway from the pizza place, is the fundamentalist 
Hope Chapel. They have a much larger sign (forming, with the pizza parlor, dueling 
signs). Until recently, their sign said: Be Ye Fishers of Men: You Catch Them, He'll 
Clean Them. [for those who have ever fished, you know what this means.]
 
3. Cynical: now that Ralph's is no longer locking out its workers, I stopped there for 
some groceries. They were selling Easter gifts, including a cross made out of 
chocolate. [of course, I had to buy it, to give to my Jewish atheist wife.]

When I lived in Kalamzoo, Mich. in the late 80s, we
would see a sign on the road to Ann Arbor (which we
visited often, K being what it was), advertising a
Christian motel: Prepare to meet thy God! was the
slogan. Hmmm, that's inviting.

On the North shore of Chicago is a hopital called
Resurrection Health Care (when ordinary medicare
service just won't do!).
