What a Cool Liquor Store!

This is One Way to Board Up Your Windows

I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted this before but it made me laugh again so I had to put it up just in case. I wonder how the light bulb lit above the owner’s head – “Oh yeah, I know, I can cover the window with a twin size mattress. Of course! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”

quite possibly the funniest picture yet.

You should have saved it for a “what was I thinking?” contest.

or maybe, a new post, “what were they thinking?”

they have pretty good spatial skills as this looks like its a perfect fit! Maybe it doubles as a fire escape…they just ram it and hope to land on top of the mattress!

Be weary of the craigslist ad that says “used twin mattress, rarely slept on”!

It’s kind of scary how well it fits.
