Broken: Taxidermy and cheese
Nikki Brown submits a picture of "Wisconsin's Finest Taxidermy and Cheese." Nikki writes:
It's hard to know where to start with what's broken here really...are you purchasing a block of cheese with a stuffed squirrel treat inside or can you get your beloved dog filled with brie?
Reminds me of a little building in Alabama that was about 10x10...I wish I had a picture, but I don't. The sign on it said, "Emma's Barbecue, Beauty Supply and Car Wash."
Yeesh. There's a point at which multitasking becomes a bad thing.
I'm not really sure this is broken...
Odd in that there appears to be 3 (really) separate types of business ventures going on, but then again, what do you think a mall is? Would you call a mall broken because within its walls you can buy food items, clothes, get a haircut, etc, etc etc...?
maybe it's Aves Taxidermy and Wisconsin's Finest (brand) Cheese. the placement keeps it broken, but it would make me feel better about wisconsin. though that's not saying much...
A musician named Michael Longcor once saw a sign on Highway 26 in Indiana that prompted him to write a song: "Bob's Dog Obedience School and Taxidermy Shop."

This is wonderfully charming, homespun, and industrious, with a little something for everyone. Didja notice the tree sale?
Reminds me of the taxidermist/veterinarian whose sign in the window said, "Either way, you get your dog back."
