Texas, I Love Yew
From customer Richard, we get this information —
Did I ever tell you about the sewer-pipe crosses of Clarendon? Clarendon is a town of almost 2,000 people between Amarillo and Wichita Falls on US 287. Someone there discovered that crosses can be made from PVC pipe, not ordinary water pipe, but 5 inch sewer pipe, and that led to this:
(Click the little ones to see the big ones.)
This one is on the main drag (US 287) in front of a locally owned pharmacy. In the background you can see the one in front of the Family Dollar store. There are approximately 50 similar crosses on US287 within the city limits, and another dozen or more outside the city. Here is one at the Sonic Drive-in.
And in threes for saving the souls of dead gophers I suppose.
And in front of homes …
And in pastures.
Just so there’s no mistaking, Clarendon, Texas, makes sure that directly under the welcome from the Chamber of Commerce, there’s a Jesus warning.
Welcome to Clarendon. You’re going to hell.
I don’t know about you people from foreign states, but in Texas religious symbols made with sewer pipes is pretty much considered normal.
It’s to remind you that Jesus doesn’t put up with your crap.
Thanks to Richard for the heads up.
