Wednesday's Wacky Signs

Not really such a wacky idea, truthfully.
A little parental responsibility is not such a bad thing.
But poor Mrs. Ginsburg, with her 4 little ones, can't go shopping on a Motzoei Shabbos unless Mr. Ginsburg comes along.....

    I doubt they would enforce this rule against a woman with a 7 year old, a 4 year old, and 2 infants in their stroller.

    They mean teenagers, but legally can't probably single them out so blatantly.

    The worse part about it is that MR. Ginsburg has to go shopping also.

    Hopefully Mr. Ginsburg can convince his wife to go down the street to the Waterways shops, where he could take a couple of kids to hang out in one of the many kosher stores.

    At times like this, Aventura is quite appealing.

    WAdsworth3- I always had a question for you why do you capitalize the A also why don't spell it Wadsworth3?

    When they removed TO and replaced it with SW, the telephone company changed the affected peoples phone numbers.

    Considering that that these days I don't remember phone numbers, i just program them in, this is nostalgic. For those needing more information, look at:

    Great links WAdsworth3!
    Thanks for doing the legwork.
    I agree about the nostalgia factor.
    Hearing the old exchanges makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :)
