>Deb L, wondering if there would be a market for

Sunday...

I just had to post on this. Indeed there is a market
for inflatable sheep and indeed there are those
catering to that market. I have told this story many
times over the years, so I will share it again.

I grew up in San Francisco and there are a lot of
strange things available there for the,
ah...discerning connisuer of weirdness I guess. One
day while I was riding the bus to my job downtown, as
a teen, I passed through the district North of Market
St. which is known for being a somewhat nasty slum.
Cheap hookers, sex paraphenalia shops, drug addicts
and nasty rooms by the hour hotels abounded there,
amongst less savory things. It is called,
appropriately enough although not by design, the
Tenderloin.

While passing one of the sex shops that was on the
same street as the bus route, and which possessed a
theater style marquee, I happened to read their add
running on the marquee. It read "Just In! New Blow
Up Sheep!" I laughed all the rest of the way to work
and have retold the incident many times.
