Talking Saw it on the way to work.

I was behind a big delivery truck. The name on the back was;
BASKERVILLE CASKET COMPANY

Underneath that was their logo;
Please Drive Safely

I would never buy stock in this company. Evidently they don't understand what profit margin is all about.

If I owned the Company the logo would read:

Go for it, Dude!

Baskerville? Didn't they have a problem with demon hounds?
On another casket note, there's a casket company in a small town called Zanesville here in oHIo that is located on Rt 666. No joke.

Our local and newly opened "Hooters" has on its sign "Same Day Service"... What's up with that?

They're still opening new Hooter's resturaunts? I thought they were supposed to be going bankrupt? My wife jokes everytime we pass a Hooter's that she needs to go in and pick up her paycheck. One of these days I'm going to drop her off and tell her not to come home until she's made enough for a new F350 CC!

Mr. Scot,
I'm from Ohio originally, just south of Cambridge (which is 35 miles east of Zanesville) outside a small town called (no lie) Pleasant City. Next time you go to Zanesville, go to Tom's Ice Cream Bowl; great little homemade ice parlor and nuts place that's been there forever.

Thumbs up

Been to Tom's Ice Cream Bowl and it is great. Cheapest price for the best cashews you'll ever see. A complete throwback in time, too. Walk in there and you'll swear it's 1950. Even the kid working there had a crewcut and was wearing that white paper "marine style" hat. Too much.......

Thanks Go. A buddy of mine has a cabin on the river in Dresden where we fish and boat, so I get down there pretty often. I'll have to check it out. I know exactly where Pleasant city is. Heck I know someone who lives on Frost Lane in Coolsville. lol

Cool


We have a couple of good ones here in the Akron area...

Big Toms Plumbing and Drain
slogan "Because a straight flush beats a full house!!"

Deserays (sp) bar (strip bar, and NO I didn't go in, it was on the sign out front!!)
"come-on in, the UGLY one quit"

GO 4D IT, Thanks for the "scoop" on Tom's, I make it down there once in a while. I also lived in Jackson, Michigan for a couple of years. If your ever there, go to Loudens Ice Cream Parlor. It's very well known, just ask someone how to get to "The parlor".
P.S. The Bananna split has 21 scoops of ice cream, bring your appetite!!

Seems like a family business that was in the area for years went out of business....

BUTT PLUMBING!

I thinks I'd go with something else!
