The Slice It’s Not Rabies, But It Does Come From Dawgs
Readers’ votes are in, and it’s another Husky “victory.”
College football season brings out the worst in graduates of:
1. UW (37 votes)
2. WSU (11 votes)
3. U. of Oregon (four votes)
4. U. of Idaho (three votes)
5. U. of Montana (two votes)
6. EWU (one vote)
Overheard on the South Hill by a Slice reader named Edith: Two little boys, maybe 6 and 7, were walking home from school. The older boy was talking about all the girls he liked. It was a long list.
Finally the younger boy chimed in. “Of all the girls I like, I like my grandma the best.”
No horror stories: We heard from about half a dozen area teachers after we asked how much time and energy educators devote to maintaining classroom discipline.
All said it wasn’t a big problem.
We’re sure Deer Park’s George Greasley was kidding when he asked: “If all the potholes were filled, what percentage of Spokane residents would complain that a historical part of the city had been destroyed?”
More adventures in bra-shopping: “My husband, Karl, and I went shopping at the Family Bargain Center,” wrote Katie Youngren. “As we approached the entrance of the store, I mentioned that I wanted to see if they had bras.”
Once inside, Karl noticed a table of bras by a sign that read “Bargains.”
“Look honey,” he said in a loud voice. “They do have bras. See the sign? It says big-uns.”
OK, one more.
A few years ago when Matt Sugalski was 8, he was with his parents at Montgomery Ward’s when he noticed some padded bras. He poked at one and then felt the need to share his discovery. “Dad, c’mere quick,” he yelled. “This one has cushions in it.”
Today’s Slice question: What would be different today if, back in 1973, Iron Man had come to Spokane instead of going to Seattle?
