Ahh, Del Rio!

There used to be an infamous radio station in Del Rio, with 500,000-watt transmitter across the border in Ciudad Acu�a, that old-time radio listeners could hear at night, all over the United States. It was infamous also for some of the most outlandish and ridiculous things that it advertised.

One of my friends' father ordered the guaranteed never-fail roach-killer and got a laugh out of it � two pieces of two-by-four marked "A" and "B." Instructions said to put the roach on block "A" and hit it with block "B."

He didn't think that the always-sharp razor blades, guaranteed to be as sharp after a year of use as they were when you got 'em, were funny when he got razor-blade blanks that had never been sharpened.


"Good enough" isn't.

Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.
