Education: It's not just for breakfast anymore

[AMonger]

While at the travesty of a truckstop, the glorified 7-11 known as the Flying J in Commerce, GA, I saw a sign advertising their price on small bottles of soda. These aren't the 20oz ones, but smaller, for .99. At the bottom of the sign, it says, "Everyday low value."

Really. I've seen the same at other Js, so it's apparently a sign printed up and distributed nationally, not the work of a local simpleton.

I'm not sure advertising "low value" is something they really want to do. Of course, now that Pilot is involved, maybe it's a truth-in-advertising issue.

Another example of the Public Fool System in action: The shower terminal in the driver's area is out of order, so everybody has to go to the fuel desk to get a shower. A sign taped on the shower terminal says: "Please go to field desk."

Really.

Public schools are a form of child abuse.

I don't like change for the worse. Change is supposed to be for the better. And I don't like illiteracy or stupidity. And generally, what I criticize falls into one of the those categories.
