New store in town

[Yaps]

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic mist machine to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of a thunderstorm.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing. When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cackle.

So far I have been too afraid to go down the toilet paper aisle.

Hello Yaps

Cows mooing--chickens cackling? I'd be careful where I was stepping.

There is a restaurant near here--the Rainforest with sound effects and flashing lights to resemble a thunderstorm, life-sized models of elephants trumpeting and raising and lowering their trunks and gorillas shaking the branches of trees they are standing next to. It's really neat.

When relatives visited I booked a table next to the elephants just in time for the thunderstorm and when the elephant's trunk moved my sister-in-law jumped for her life and then realized she had been set up but was still able to laugh with the rest of us. The food isn't bad either.

I came to the conclusion that since they made us work 12 hours a day six days a week, they installed those things to push us mentally over the edge! I think we let them go through one battery change and then took them down.

Next we'll hear hiccups and belching down the beer aisle. I think we meed a man law about this.

An evening to remember

An evening to remember

I still remember my date( in the early '70s) to The Kahiki - a Polynesian themed restaurant on
the west side of Columbus, Ohio. Both the exterior and interior were like a visit to a James A. Michener novel. Every 20 minutes or so, the booths on the south side are treated to a tropical thunder storm, where real birds use to fly about in the rain behind what seemed like picture window next to your table peering out into the middle of the jungle. At first the noise startled me, but the rain on the window was very calming. The food was good, but the interior, the sounds and my date were spectacular!

Sadly, they razed The Kahiki in 2000. My lovely date went on to marry another man five years later who died 2 years after they were married, two years later we were engaged- I had my stroke and she dumped me…….few, really good things lasts…..
