I took this picture while I was in my favorite Starbucks drive-thru. I think I would prefer movers who were EXPERIENCED and honest or have a history of experience and HONESTY.

A friend sent this one to me. Sad commentary on the public school system. How about we go back to teaching spelling instead of phonetics?
