NM Jim, I like your "turon" statement. I live close to Myrtle Beach, SC and
it's LOADED with turons every Summer. We have a bumper sticker around here
that kinda says it all......"If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot
'em?"
BTW Alan, I think your statement about "entitlements" is right on target.
Obviously, the folks at Dairy Queen and A&W could use a lesson in basic
manners.....and maybe even a PR lesson or two! Looks like they've assured
themselves of having a "one time only" event.
