Way too small

“What’s up with BellSouth? I just received my new phone book, and the print’s so small I can barely see the numbers, even with my glasses on. And by the way, I just had my eyes checked, so it’s not my eyes. They’ve made the print so small I feel sorry for those people with real eye problems. Let’s make a change. Get a bigger print.”



God knows

“Since they found that girl’s body down the road from G.O. Bailey, the gossip rumors have been raging around here like Niagara Falls. Me personally, I believe one should keep their mouth shut unless they know for a fact what they’re saying is true. If by chance the investigating agencies don’t find out who killed her, God up above already knows who it is.”



Hot copy

“Where can we as the public pick up a copy of the 2000 audit of the Tiftarea Humane Society?”

Voting solves it

“To the people who are concerned about the Supreme Court protecting the murderers and the criminals, if they would keep up with the elections, they may find out that they can vote against these people. They have to come up for election every few years. So the people who do not like the Supreme Court’s decision, vote.”



Just too high

“Why is gas in Tifton, Ga., $1.28.9 and gas in Albany $1.15.9?”



Always there

“I just wanted to make a comment about the police always being on the south side of town. Every time I go on the south side, there are always police, and there’s never any on the north side. I live on the north side of town, so I know there are no police over here. I just want to know why they are always on the south side of town.”



Get them out

“This is in response to the letter mailed from the City of Lenox to the citizens. I agree that Lenox needs to be cleaned up. The cleanup needs to start at City Hall with the city clerk, the mayor, mayor pro tem and all the rest of the so-called councilmen. The things that they are forcing you to do are simply so they can keep milking the government out of grant money. The people need to vote them out of office.”



Keep on crying

“For the person calling about the race, it’s apparent that you were never an Earnhardt fan and you need to get you a big towel so that you can cry in it a lot. Grow up.”



Trashy area

“The residents of Mitchell Store Road would like to invite the county commissioners to come down with lots of garbage bags and a semi truck to pick up the trash on the side of the road. Anyone with a fireplace will find a lot of wooden pallets, and you won’t hurt your back because the county mower has shredded everything for you. By the way, no one knows who’s in charge of trash control, so let’s decide at your next meeting.”



Wonder about Bill

“In reference to Mr. Shipp’s article in the July 12 paper that the old flag was offensive to nearly one-third of the state’s population, I wonder if it’s entered into his peewee mind that more than two-thirds are offended by the ugly flag we have now. Sometimes I wonder which side of the fence Mr. Shipp is on.”
