And by interesting, I mean weird.
So, today I'm driving back to Omaha after a couple of days in Little Rock on business. South of Kansas City I gotta make a pit stop, so I pull into a truck stop. I go in, do my bidness, then get back into my pickup to leave.
Suddenly, this truck driver approaches my pickup and gets my attention. So, I'm sitting in the driver's seat, and I open the door to see what he wants. Then he starts asking me if I knew that Congress had passed a law last week banning Americans from growing organic vegetables in their yards. Stunned, I tell him "no, I hadn't heard that."
He then proceeds to describe a story about a lady growing eggplant in her yard in Washington, D.C. who was told by Congress that if she didn't destroy that eggplant she would face a $5000.00 a day fine.
"Uh-huh." I replied, still in shock.
By this time I'm trying to close my truck door and get the heck outta there, but he's standing in the way. So I thanked him for this important information and, after agreeing to write my Congressman about this travesty, he let me leave.
As I was tearing out of the parking lot and getting back onto the highway I caught a glimpse of the road sign for the community - Peculiar, MO.
True story.
