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
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?
Funny!

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