I want a 10 foot fence.

So here is a mystery. Why would anyone put up 10 feet of fencing? By that, I don't mean a 10 foot high fence, but rather a fence that starts arbitrarily and ends (after 10 feet or so) just as arbitrarily. 

I'd love to hear your comments on this one, cause its really got me stumped.

FYI: This fence has been sitting there, in this condition for over a year, so anyone proposing 'its under construction' is out of luck.

Word Art in Action!

No one would accuse the government of being cutting edge when it comes to art, good taste and style, though perhaps one could argue that they've seen worse. Nevertheless, this one has to win a prize somewhere, for "Best use of Word Art in real life".

UPDATE: It's been pointed out that this in fact might just have been the traditional Word Art font used. I say, either way!

I'm speechless...

I have no words to describe this... just check the image in this article...

Just in case they decide to update it here's a screen shot...

Like Subway, but not really...

Look again, its not Subway, but close.  Apparently artists here use Google as much as everyone else.

Like Oreo's, but not really...

Just for this, we've had to start a new catagory... "Rip-off". 

Enjoy. 

One Stop Shopping DR Style

Some of you might know that there basically is no mail system in DR... some claim that there is but bullshit! There isn't!

Anyway... so because of this there are several courier services or mail forwarders that set you up with addresses in the states so you can handle these basic necessities like bills, packages, magazines, shoes etc... Having recently moved to DR from the states I still keep accounts in the states and shit so I needed to get me one of these... So I found some time and visited one of these places to set up an account.

As I walk in I was greeted very nicely by the rep and as we go over all the details about how things work and blah blah blah. So in the middle of her taking down my personal info for my account she goes.

"Do you have life insurance?"

I was like "yeah" as I thought to myself. "Holy shit this is either one of the most in depth questionnaires I've taken or this girls small talk skills suck ass!"

So we keep going and I finish setting up my account and before I leave she goes.
"I know that you said you had life insurance but please take this card if you know of anybody that wants to buy a policy and also take this one too we offer carpentry, plumbing upholstery cleaning, paint and any general repairs."

I managed to hold back a chuckle as I accepted both cards and left.

But daaamn! Talk about one stop shopping... DR style!
