GARDEN & GUN



So there I was at Pumpelli's Tire and Auto Repair 

waiting for the kind mechanics to replace my dead alternator.





I looked across at the man waiting for his own repairs 

and saw him reading a glossy magazine that looked like BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS.

The name of the magazine suddenly hit me: 


I was intrigued.  

What kind of articles would such a magazine have?  

I started making up its table of contents to pass the time:


SHOT INTRUDERS MAKE 
THE BEST MULCH

PIRANHAS NOT OVER-THE-TOP 
FOR YOUR FOUNTAIN

MINED BACKYARD:
 PERFECT TILLING 
FOR YOUR VEGETABLE GARDEN

HIDE THOSE PESKY 
IMPROMPTU GRAVES 
WITH ROSE BUSHES

BE A CONSIDERATE NEIGHBOR; 
USE SILENCERS 
FOR LATE NIGHT BURGLARS 

The real articles, of course, were much different!

Garden & Gun is a magazine
about the sporting culture, 
food, music, art, 
and travel 
of the Southern United States.

I think the names
of my articles
sound more interesting!

WHAT FUN ARTICLES
CAN YOU COME UP WITH?

  1. Funny!
    Around here, if they could plant and grow their own deer, hunters would be very excited.

    1. It would give the term "crop dusting" a whole new meaning, right! :-)
