Let's Pet Stuff



I'm a big fan of the Let's Pet Puppies sign on Ashland, just north of Roscoe. That's a store name that doesn't beat around the bush. Although it may be a blatant effort to draw children into the store (not for some creepy purpose, sicko), I appreciate the honesty. If I ever own a bar, it'll be called Let's Get Drunk. Although, in retail, this approach mightn't necessarily drive sales - Let's Sit On Furniture, Let's Try On Hats, Let's Eat Samples. They're pretty much giving away the joy of petting puppies without the hassle of cleaning up dog shit or replacing couch cushions. Anyhow. Let's pet other stuff, too.

Simply wonderful. But I've heard that Yuppies bite.

In addition, female yuppies possess a gland in their purse that emits pepper-aerosol when startled. Pet at your own risk.

Is that your brother or Jesus? It's a serious question. Look at that mane.
