Summary of Missouri

Based on what I saw on the billboards on the highway, I surmise the following:

  • Missouri loves fireworks, Precious Moments, and Jesus

  • Missouri hates abortions, and, oddly, apparently vasectomies. I saw no fewer than two dozen signs for vasectomy reversal procedures, with a money back guarantee (dial 1-713-reverse for more info). Seriously, what's up with that? Was there a vasectomy wave a few years ago the men of Missouri have come to regret?

Also, Missouri is cruel. I saw many signs for barbecue restaurants, rib shacks, and steak dinners on billboards that were in *cow pastures*. Why you gotta taunt the cows like that, Missouri? That's cold.

Bye, Missouri. Thanks for the cheap gas (jiust $2.97!).

The man who makes those precious moments figurines came into the store I was managing before I went to work for Uncle Sam. If I remember correctly, his name is Sam Butcher. He was nice and gave me a free figurine and a brochure for the Precious Moments Chapel in Missouri.

It's been on my list of places to visit, right below the Liberace Museum in Vegas (which I have seen). Though the kitsch value of Precious Moments is not nearly as enjoyable as that of Liberace's mirror-covered car and inverted monkey fur suit!
