Why I am from Louisville, and not KY. (Brad)

We are staining a cabin in Caneyville, KY. If you don't know where this is, it doesn't matter. You only need to know that they have one 4-way stop light and are at least 20 minutes from the nearest hicktown Dairy Freeze ice cream place. Just think cows. Well, we go to the local restaurant, Doc's coffee shop. Me, being the coffee addict that I am, and only having had 16 oz. that morning, was anxious to have a small town latte, or maybe mocha. Anything to keep the painting arm moving. I was to be disappointed that day, as Doc calls his place a coffee shop because he has, you guessed it, coffee. Free refills, mind you. But that's it, just coffee and everything else a NORMAL RESTAURANT would have. Yeah, thanks, Doc.
Well, the fun began as we came through the front door and got our first warning about kids behavior. 'First' warning because there were 3 or so of these signs in this place. And you don't forget it on your way to the bathroom as you see here.
Click on this photo (yes I took my camera into this coffee shop).


After they get the Caneyville Kids under controll, they can teach them how to spel. Also, notice the improper use of the apostrophe in parent's... and notice free refills under coffee. Oh yeah, I'm thinking "starbucks is goin' down..."
This next one is in the bathroom. I just happened to have the camera with me.



So, your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway, The next is just fun all around. I think it is from the 1st graders "Menu-on-a-wall" contest.



They picked this menu because they were so proud he could spell "Hot Ham & Gheese" almost right. Also, notice Doc's difficult decision on the price of the steak platter. Worse than gas prices.
This one is also fun. Notice the apostrophe used wrong. And boy, they really are concerned for the children.



One last photo then I'm done. Just wanted to help this guy out selling his karaoke machine, with a cassette player!! (not really sure what a cassette is) and a really good sound to it.



Hope this was fun for you. I feel better about myself now. That's what is important, right?

I guess selling the machine means the end of karaoke night? At least that's one sign they can take down. On a recent trip to Baytown, TX (our version of Hickville) we saw a sign that said, "We do not rent pigs." Like you said, your guess is as good as mine!

Being the righteous person that I am, (and humble, too) I think you need to change your focus from English grammar to Koine Greek.
