Small town charm

How do you know you are in a small town?

1) The Ms. Any-Small-Town-USA and her court are going to be in a tug-of-war contest against the local firemen at the town fair this weekend. It may involve a fire hose and water.

2) They will throw you in a homemade "jail" if you are not wearing a $2 button that helps pay for fireworks at same said town fair.

3) The cashier at the local pharmacy felt it pertinent to tell the elderly lady in front of me, who was purchasing what seemed to be a yearly supply of laxatives, that an easier way to combat her problem might be to eat more yogurt. The elderly lady was actually thankful for his advice.

So here we go, our first installment from the Rock..........

By the way, does this look like a good way to greet your customers? Believe it or not, it's a local swim shop (not a gun or hunting store).
