A mortuary transport service owner named Donald Short was ordered by the courts to pay for them as part of a corpse abuse plea bargain deal.
I have a deep, genuine need to climb onto one of these billboards and have my picture taken while holding a bucket of white paint and a brush. If anyone has an old hearse that I could rent for the day, I'd like to park it underneath. It would draw a crowd, don't you think?
We could all get together, wrap ourselves like mummies, and picket the billboard. The media would be tripping all over themselves to talk to us.
ReplyDeleteI can see it now.
ReplyDelete"Acme Funeral Home Discriminates Against The Dead" on two dozen picket signs. "Acme Funeral Home - I wouldn't be caught dead there". etc etc etc.
Actually, I don't see what the big deal is about this. Once I'm dead, they can do whatever they want with me. Rent me out to a colony of necrophiliacs. I'm not gonna care.
I think it is on 121, somewhere between downtown FW and where 121 passes thru 820.
ReplyDeleteDurango,
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back.
I was afraid that I'd accidentally said something nice about the Star-Telegram and offended you in some way.
Thanks for the info.
I'll head that direction in a hearse.
The billboard is facing east as one drives 121 between Hadley-Ederville Rd and Beach St. I pass it daily on the way to the dog park. I nearly ran off the road trying to read it.
