The Slice Ask The Marketing Staff - They Know

Rathdrum’s Angela Myers overheard this at NorthTown.

Little girl: “What store is this?”

Mother (softly): “Victoria’s Secret.”

Little girl: “What’s her secret?”

A ticked-off reader named Robert writes: “Do all the people with Idaho plates on their cars driving FROM Spokane TO Idaho on weekday mornings on I-90 really believe everyone thinks they either 1) have night jobs in Spokane, or 2) really live and work in Idaho and just drive through Washington on their way to work? They aren’t fooling anyone!”

People always say it’s a bargain minded town: “I was at Excell a few weeks ago, and I always check in their reduced price meat department because sometimes the deals are really good,” faxed Spokane’s Donald Hipkiss. “Well, I found a trout, for about 90 cents, and I decided to buy it. As I walked away with it, this little, tiny boy comes running up to me and grabbed the arm of my coat and yelled: ‘Mister! Mister! Don’t buy that fish! They’re FREE, if you got a fishing pole!”’

Attention, class: A few years ago, Pullman’s JoAnne Knowles was getting ready to teach the first day of an English course for college freshmen. In the process of pulling something out of her briefcase, a tampon that had been in with her materials popped out onto the floor in front of her students.

Rough ride: A group of thirdgraders took an STA bus downtown for an Earth Day event and were treated to the all-too earthy experience of a fellow passenger dramatically defecating in his trousers. The driver was not pleased.

Warm-up question: When out walking, have you ever been about to cross the street against a light because there wasn’t any traffic but then stopped because you didn’t want to teach the wrong lesson to a young child also standing at the curb?

Today’s Slice question: Have you ever been targeted by one of our local gulls?
