Another Texas thing...



The above photo is of a sign that we found posted on the ice cooler in front of our local corner store in Venus the other evening.

These are the musings that come to mind:
1) Do they really make shower curtains that look like Texas flags?
2) Related to #1, is having a shower curtain made out of a flag really a good idea?
3) It is interesting to note that a "used" Texas flag shower curtain would be acceptable to the purchaser. This is important because I would imagine that most individuals do not have spare Texas flag shower curtains still in their new packaging, just waiting for the right day to hang them.
4) Also interesting to ponder is the concept that in my experience, most individuals do not hang on to their used shower curtains. Once they're done, they're done. So I am guessing that in order to have a used Texas flag shower curtain to sell, you'd probably still have it hanging in your own bathroom. Seems like the price would have to be right to leave you shower curtain-less.
5) I appreciate the care that the designer has put into creating the sign: the "cute" faces made out of the "o's" in LOOKING, the use of parentheses to highlinght the item in question, and the underlining of the phrase "used o.k."
6) Finally, do you really suppose that the best place to advertise your desire for a used Texas flag shower curtain is taped to the side of the ice cooler outside the corner store in a town of 2,000 people?

Rich, simply rich, my friends.

  2. The amazing thing to me is that someone from Texas would not have a Texas flag shower curtain in their bathroom already, so I understand their desire to get one quickly, even if it's used.
