SKIRMISHER

Claudette Soden, owner of a photo store, says her business partner is Jesus, so she keeps a Bible on her countertop and displays on her wall a “business partnership agreement between her and Jesus.” Not only that, she goes out and puts up a sign that says “Easter: Beep For Christ.”

This embarrasses his stall neighbor Phil Young, who owns a tattoo store and doesn’t share Soden’s religious fervor, so he goes out too and puts up a sign that says “Honk Twice For Satan.”

Roger DeVack, owner of another neighboring computer shop, later joins in and makes his own sign: “Honk for the American Flag.”

The moral lesson of this story is: if business is incredibly slow, invoke the almighty divine squirrel.
