Bitten", Alas the painter thought that the sign should say Britten U.S.A. as there is a town nearby by that name I think.

All of you came up with really twisted ways of looking at this picture and it's so close that I may not be making the best pick for a winner. In any case, it's time for me to pick a winner and here it goes. Third Place goes to James Sotherden with The town decided to store whiskey in the water tower. So not only did the people get tipsy so did the tank. Second place goes to SuperJoker with Hey Ma, Lookie at what the Ternado left for US! Free Water storage fer Yer garden and a swimmin hole too. And the winner is Michael Roberts with Two countries divided by a common language share a common inclination. Take it away Michael Roberts. ID: 938728 ·
