Frank, I think you left out an "a" or "some" before "Customer" in line 2 of your Angus limerick. Oh, if this was in a college town, the proprietor should have that "G" welded to his sign. This was a favorite prank whan I was in school in the early 70s. (even when the townies were the culprits, the college guys got the blame).

Maine had a Governor (now Senator) named Angus King. Anonymous wags have painted out the "G" in his campaign signs over the years.
