I don’t really get **Enola Straight’s** poster. But [this](http://i.thefairest.info/funniest_thumbs/aUk6JK.jpeg) is one of my favorite plays on a motivational poster. ---

I just wanted to let the Teeming Millions know, before they feel the need to write a long and heart-wrenching tale of woe and uncertainty, that if they meet that blonde with the beer their only course of action is to hit that _post haste_ and with all due diligence. I assure you that she is into you and you don’t need our imprimatur. If you are still uncertain, please feel free to PM me with her contact information and I will take things from there. ---

[QUOTE=Enola Straight] [http://i12.tinypic.com/68isd8o.jpg](http://i12.tinypic.com/68isd8o.jpg) [/QUOTE] Ironically enough, it can be explained. [ruining-the-fun-hat] Clearly, that guy lives close-by to where that happened, and it was also the night of his prom. He saw the UPS truck in the river, had his tux on, and in an effort to purposely make a confusing image, grabbed his mom’s sewing machine and had his date snap a picture of it.
