Small Towns

The USA is full of quaint, small towns. For those never having traveled to or lived in one, the following may give you an idea what life's like there.

Our hometown was so small that...

~ long distance calls are delayed when the area code is busy

~ in order to paint traffic lines, the road had to be widened

~ the clinic was called Joe's Hospital and Grill

~ instead of hoses, the Fire Department uses water pistols

~ you had to make a reservation to use the parking meter

~ during a boxing match, both men have to sit in the same corner

~ the class valedictorian had both the highest & lowest averages

~ during snowstorms, salt was spread using a salad shooter

~ the Mayor was also the Sheriff, Town Council & street sweeper

~ the municipal water system's pump was supplied by Water Pik

~ before you visited, you could look out a window & see who was home

~ the local Motel 6 sleeps six
