Speaking of Wee
That last post about good ol’ Ron reminded me of something I saw in a department store recently. I was somewhere between the fat burners and the shotgun shells when I came across some gear to trick out your automobile. There were air fresheners and steering wheel covers and license plate holders and lots of stickers. Mostly Calvin stickers.
Wait, I should be more specific – mostly Calvin urinating stickers. Now I know I’ve covered this topic in the past, so I won’t spend too much time here. Suffice it to say there are many options for people who want to have Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame) peeing on something.
This display rack, however, was particularly interesting. It was a spinning display with three rows of pegs, about 6 high. So, on each of the 4 sides of the display, there were 18 different stickers displayed. Sure, there were doubles, a lot of Calvin doubles. Actually, there were at least 8 classic Calvin urinating stickers on each side of the display. There were also a few with Calvin peeing on NASCAR numbers and such, but the classic Calvin just peeing was most popular.
Here’s the funny part, though. On one side, in the leftmost row, third down, was a sticker of the face of Jesus. It was the standard Caucasian Jesus with trimmed beard and crown of thorns. Of course, right above Jesus was…you guessed it, Calvin peeing. And yes, it did look like Calvin was aiming for his downstairs neighbor. I couldn’t help wondering if this was done intentionally or not, but…I mean, if you were the guy setting up the display, how could you miss it?
