    Unicorns = Jobs.

    I love signs.

    I like anything that has a message on it.........because I do enjoy the artwork and wordage on walls, billboards and bumpers. I catch myself 'reading' more into a simply worded sign all the time.

    There are the obvious screw-ups.........There was an autobody shop that touted having your cars computer checked out with the shop's 'analizer'.

    Or the sign at a car lot that said, "Trader Vic's Miracle Cars, If it's a good car, it's a miracle."

    As kids, the ultimate 'slam' was laughing at someone's ride as a "trader vic special"?

    ---------------------

    A few days ago, I was in the car trying to get back from the drug store when I came up behind a car with a bumper sticker that said, "UNICORNS = JOBS".


    Hokay.........

    I looked for other bumper sticker like the '26.2, I brake for bikers, Dog is my co-pilot'......nope, nothing.

    So I LOOK AGAIN at the UNICORNS = JOBS sticker and wonder what Apple Computers had to do with unicorns....

    Nope, it still don't make sense, so I go back and look again.

    --------------------

    In the few seconds in between seeing the sign the first time, thinking about it and then going back to re-read it?

    Someone removed the 'c' and 'r' from the equation.


    UNIONS = JOBS.

    Nothing to do with Apple computers or unicorns.

    So, now my thoughts are with what happens to the unicorns that are unemployed?


    And people who have poor reading comprehension?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    By the way, my brain has the opposite habit - I see a word, and part of my brian tends to find the animal in it - like the other night, we were watching an old movie, and a train pulled into the station in ZAGREB, and I looked at Paul and said, "Your brain didn't immediately rearrange that to spell Zebra G, did it?"

    Where is Mutat?

    I have a friend who told me a story about a mythical place named Mutat.

    If you try to find it on the map, you cannot.

    The only way to get to Mutat is via a Magic Rearview Mirror on your car, and a bus behind you.

    ----------------

    The story goes like this.

    Steve, the person who discovered it, was at a red light when a school bus came up behind him.

    He looked into the Magic Mirror and saw that this bus was going to Mutat.

    He thought about where this Mutat place was......and, as a long time resident of the area, he was didn't know where the bus was headed.....

    He then realized that the bus was going to TATUM.

    Mutat only existed in a magical place you can only get to with a rear view mirror and a bus headed there.


    A Magic Rear View Mirror.......

    Steve is now the proud owner of a !MUTAT T-shirt and is now trying to find out where ECNALUMBA is...

    Most ambulances have it spelled to read correctly in a rear-view mirror.
