I would like to introduce what I hope will be a regular feature on Business n'at called Random Crap. It may come as a shock to many of you, but yours truly has a bit of a collection of bits of paper. Receipts, flyers, stickers, newspaper articles - all sorts of little things that for me act as mnemonic devices for my past, and for Adale aid in ruining her life because I have innumerable boxes and tubs of these papers. I finally got around to setting up my scanner and every once in a while I'm going to post some of the crap I've been lugging around with me for years. Maybe I'll realize that I can get rid of some of it because I'll have digital copies, or maybe I'll start keeping every bit of paper that I ever touch for the rest of my life.
For example, I tore this ad out of a Dallas paper, meaning I've been lugging it around with me since at least 1995. I probably grabbed it because Don "The Lawman" Slatton endorsed their services - while living in Dallas I loved to go see professional wrestling at the Sportatorium & The Lawman was a somewhat popular "face" at the matches.
I grabbed the ad below while in Merida, Mexico in 2000. I got airline credit for agreeing to be bumped from a flight back home from Peru, and Adale & I later used it for a vacation in Mexico. We spent most of our time on Isla de Mujeres but also stayed in Merida, on the mainland, because we wanted to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. Unfortunately we weren't there for the lucha matches.
