Report from the road:
Dad called a few days ago. He was driving through the mountains of Montana, about a hundred miles outside of Billings. The cell phone reception was patchy at best, and he knew he’d cut out at any moment, but had to tell me that he had just driven past a place called Adam and Eve Lingerie & More. Right next door there was a store called Teasers. He was trying to puzzle out what sort of product might be available at these shops. At Adam and Eve Lingerie & More he assumed he could pick up some lingerie, obviously, but also possibly some “work clothes, hair care products, maybe some small, sliced snack items.” That’s the great thing about “& more.” It covers everything. “They probably have the cheapest milk in town.”
As for the shop called Teasers, he guessed it must be a place to buy either fishing bait or cat toys. It’s the most sensible assumption. Probably cat toys, he said. (“Jimmy! Leave the cat alone! But mom…I got these teasers.”)
