“I was heading to a secure and undisclosed location the other day and noticed that there is now a quilt shop where the porn store used to be.”

In other words, you were going to the porn store? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, mind you.

Well, at least the store on Lovell Road is still there… wait, how do I know that?

Meant to say “Don’t know squat about the last owners.”

And I don’t know squat about proofreading, either.

The original owners (we know them) of that porn store sold it and moved to Nevada. Because they we’re sick and tired of being hassled and the greener grasses (greener sands?) of Sin City were beckoning.

I think people giving them crap were beginning to pick on their kids. Because they’re cowards (people who pick on kids, that is).

Do know squat about the last owners.

Let’s just say they have the state’s only battery-powered knitting needles.

My FIL likes to give directions like, “Turn left at the old oak tree. If you get to the old McKerney barn you done missed it.”

I swear the man can have gone somewhere 1,000s of times and not ever caught a street name.

Eric:

This is the South, so it will absolutely be the latter. I still get directions from time to time that involve “where so-and-so’s farm used to be,” and that farm hasn’t been there in thirty or more years.

So when you give directions now will it be “the quilt shop” or “the quilt shop where the porn store used to be”?

Or perhaps the quilt shop is just a front… very clever of them!
