50 MPH Elk In A Trailer During Rush Hour
Posted by Steve Kremer in ** Funny Pics ** on October 14th, 2009
If it had been closer to Christmas I might have thought it was a reindeer. But the side of the truck towing the trailer said Carley Elk Farms. Not something you expect to see during rush hour on Indiana State Road 37 just south of Noblesville, Indiana.
Spiced Octopus Doesn’t Sell In Indiana
Posted by Steve Kremer in ** Funny Pics **, Food & Wine on June 1st, 2008
At the Kroger grocery store in Westfield, Indiana this afternoon and spied this in the manager’s close out bin. Originally $4.75 slashed to 50 cents. For some reason Hooiser’s didn’t take to canned Spiced Octopus In Seasoned Red Sauce. They had a lot of canned seafood that didn’t sell. To perpetuate the stereotype Indiana is more a giant breaded pork tenderloin and a Budweiser kinda place.
Update: Greate tweet from @fezick: “But what if you deep fry it at the state fair?” He’s referring to the Indiana State fair’s obsession with deep frying Oreos, Snickers, etc.
Indiana – Biggest Driver’s License In The USA!
Posted by Steve Kremer in ** Funny Pics ** on May 10th, 2008
There is talk all across the US about the creation of a national ID card or the standardizing of all of the nation’s driver’s licenses. If they do standardize driver’s licenses the US should use the Indiana drivers license as the template. Here in my home state we’ve got the biggest damn driver’s license you’ve ever seen! It’s as big as a jumbo post card. It’s gotta be at least 5″ x 7″ !
Just take a look at this picture of a state cop holding a drivers license. This is a digital photo of a warning sticker that used to be posted on every gasoline pump in the state of Indiana. It warns drivers away from pumping gas and not paying. If you do, you may lose your driver’s license.
This is the real size of our driver’s licenses! Can you believe it? I can’t even fit it in my wallet!
Well….not really. This is a real, un-photoshopped picture. All I can guess is that the ad agency that made the sticker must have decided that the real driver’s license looked too small so they enlarged it. It’s a strange site every time I have to stop and fill up my car.
