People,
So, MotoGustat and I took a huge ride to New Hampshire on Sunday. It was a blast, with plenty of highway speeding, backroad cruising and no helmet wearing (sorry mom!).
Anyway, I know no one is interested in the banalities of our trek, but one thing that sticks with me from the journey is a local business I saw in some small NH town.
That business was Casket Royale. I kid you not. This is an establishment that, as you can guess, sells caskets.
I would like to have been a fly on the wall when this business was named.
Jim: I think I'll open a casket business.
Doug: Sounds good. What will you call it?
Jim: Hmmm. I was thinking Kwality Kaskets.
Doug: That's OK, what about Casketeria?
Jim: I like that, but I don't know, I think it needs more faux class and pizzazz....
Doug: Casket Royale!
Jim: Yes, Casket Royale! And let's put a little crown over the Y!
Doug: Kick ass.
Can you imagine having to bury a loved one and picking up the casket at Casket Royale? You may as well just cover them in wrappers from Burger King.
Dag.
PS. In case you think I'm kidding, http://www.casketroyale.com/
they actually have television commercials for this place...
if you ever see one..it's more or less the most frightening thing you will ever see in your entire life on television..
basically it's this guy in a suit..smiling..SMILING..with a casket behind him..he then goes into the different caskets he sells in an almost car salesman approach with his price announcements..
it's a sick sick sick sick establishment..but i guess someone has to do it..
