Saw this on the way in to the station today.  We advertise for businesses, I see nothing wrong with him wanting to advertise his...."business".  I can understand his plight.  I think all men reading this right now know just how difficult it would be to try to find a woman with an education, no perscriptions, no children and that doesn't look like Lon Chaney.

Yesterday, I was driving down the Bossier Parkway and I stopped at the light where you can turn onto McDade Street. As I was sitting there, I saw a crazy blue colored Lamborghini pull up next to me.
