Cash 4....What???

I know, it's been a while, but I didn't have anything particularly funny to share. Until my drive home just now.

Down the road from my apartment is a car dealership with one of those huge digital billboards that faces the 405 Freeway, and flashes the standard car dealership notices about good financing and low prices.

However, I just saw one supposedly advertising their purchase of used cars, only it read "Cash 4 Cluckers". What? They're taking chickens as trade-ins now?

I did a double-take thinking I must have read it wrong, but it definitely said Cluckers. Do we not have a proofreading department at a car dealership where thousands of people drive by each day on one of the busiest freeways in the country? Really?

And the funny thing is...the sign changed a couple times while I waited at the light and then a different used car sign came up and read, more appropriately "Cash 4 Clunkers".

So, next time you need to sell some chickens - Airport Marina Ford takes Cash 4 Cluckers!

Hysterical.

And as far as things to write about...I believe you took a trip somewhere recently and promised us updates.

First, I'll pay you $100 to take a chicken into Airport Marina Ford.

Seriously.

Second, I'm with Rachel. I'd like to hear a little about Italy...

That's funny.
I'd probably be willing to add some money to Liz's offer. You should do it. And take pictures.
Also, I'd like an Italy update. You did promise.
