Priorities ..... Might want to fix that !

While maintaining your business I would guess some things take a priority over others.

Like repairing a overflowing toilet
Fixing a busted pipe
Maintaining your air and heat

And the simple things like changing light bulbs or at least making sure they work.

Especially if your stores name is..................................

I suspect it had a little help.

When I was in Boston there was a run-down hotel near my office called the "hotel essex." For a long time the sign said "hotel sex."

I spent a summer in Gainesville, FL, and lived across the street from a Krispy Kreme. That whole summer, their flashing neon sign read "HOT DOUG NUTS" as the "h" was burnt out.

I have also seen a SEARS reduced to "EARS," and a ROAD RANGER transformed into "ROAD ANGER."

There used to be a TV show called HOT L BALTIMORE. Pretty good show, but it only lasted one season. John Laroquette was in the cast.

Being in the sign business I figured you would appreciate that one.

Growing up on Long Island I remember a five story building with

Joe's ass works painted across the top. The G and the L faded long ago.
My grandmother would always say "good for him".
