Subject: Re: Collecting things (I collect warnings)



At Ivar's Acres of Clams, a local seafood joint, there used to be, and

still may be, a sign that said something like: "To married men: No more

than two cups of Clam Nectar without a note from your wife." They still

sell lots of the stuff, though its efficacy seems dubious.

This somehow reminds me of a revised warning on a condom machine in a men's

room in a diner featuring barbecue in a small town in North Carolina off

I-77 just south of the Virginia border. Someone had scraped off part of

the usual limiting claim, and the remainder read:



"Sold only for the prevention of . . . ease."
