Rocket City Signage Mystery

Rocket City Signage Mystery

The appearance of the sign above in several yards, alongside a detour service road in the North Parkway Improvement Project, and—quite a few of them—in a ditch near the quarry has caused some confusion at Rocket City Blues.  As Bugs Bunny would say,  “What’s up?”

Either “Loretta Spencer Huntsville’s Mayor” has been cutting work way past the ‘personal day’ quota or she has been—to use a euphemism that had a little currency maybe ten years ago—‘working at home.’ Then again, it’s just possible “Loretta Spencer Huntsville’s Mayor” has tried to get into the Office of Mayor Tommy Battle one too many times and has been thrown out onto Fountain Circle by the staff. I think this would have been after warnings.  Tommy Battle Huntsville’s Mayor is, after all, a gentleman. Next time somebody should call the police.

Although it’s perfectly clear that ‘Impersonating a Clergyman’ is not a criminal offense in Rocket City or, for that matter, in any of the Gulf States, plus Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, part of West Virginia,  and probably all of Utah, Impersonating a Mayor might just be a crime. In any case, we need to work this out.

Some people have seen the signs “Loretta Spencer Huntsville’s Mayor” when driving, and, being perplexed and distracted, they have collided with pets, children and roadside trees. It’s worse than texting. At least when you are texting you know what you are intending to do. But with the “Loretta Spencer Huntsville’s Mayor” signs, you are just totally caught up in a what-the-fuck moment.  And then:

BAM!

There go your insurance rates. Call the lizard.
