The joke you didn't intend to make is often the funniest

Enough of this weighty consideration of the world's trials. How about a moment for the lighthearted?
Should you have had the pleasure of driving down Washington St. in Oregon City you would have found it difficult to miss Tony's Fish Market. The small wooden building, painted non-descript gray, has big windows which are always painted with large exhortations to purchase "Local Crab" or "Whole Salmon" in bright poster paint colors. Down the block from the sales area is a large dark crab pot which steams away on the days they have crab. Though Tony's is nearly 100 miles from the Coast, you can almost smell salt in the air. Earlier this week I drove by and my attention was caught by one of the storefront windows.
At the top of the window was a somewhat permanent label reading "Today's Catch". Down below, taped on the inside of the window, was a large piece of butcher paper which read "Free Kittens". I would have given anything to have my digital camera...
In fact, I should go back and see if it's still there. Sweet.
