Small Towns

The US is full of small towns. For those never having traveled to or lived in one, the following will illustrate pretty much what life's like there. My hometown was so small...


the clinic was called Joe's Hospital and Grill
long distance calls are delayed when the area code is busy
the town Lady of the Evening stands under a flashlight
in order to paint traffic lines, the road had to be widened
instead of hoses, the Fire Department uses water pistols
you had to make a reservation to use the parking meter
during snowstorms, salt was spread using a salad shooter
the local Motel 6 sleeps six
during a boxing match, both men have to sit in the same corner
the class valedictorian had both the highest & lowest averages
the Mayor was also the Sheriff, Town Council, & street sweeper
we had no porn movie house; once a week someone left the shades up
the municipal water system's pump was supplied by Water Pik
before you visited, you could look out a window & see who was home
there was no town idiot -- everybody had to take turns
