Ride the Octopus.
A few years back I designed a logo for the store where I was working at the time. The store is named The Octopus' Garden, and the logo is a play on some cheesey 'your store's name here' T-shirts that my boss had ordered. The logo really took off and my boss eventually made it into all sorts of stuff including bummber sticker style decals for cars. Anyway I got this e-mail from my mom today and thought it was funny enought to share.
"The other day your dad and I went to lunch at the Round Table Pizza over by Station 2. I was driving the new car and your dad was in a city car because he was at work. I got there a few minutes before he did and I waited for him in the car. There happened to be a couple of police cars parked there also, waiting for other cops to join them for lunch.
Your dad and I had ordered and were going through the line at the salad bar when one of the officers asked "What does a cowboy riding an octopus mean?" Your dad thought at first that he was talking about him driving the city car. But no, he was talking to me. He said " I know that butterfly decals are associated with ecstacy use, but what does your's mean?" I had to explain about Octopus' Garden and that you had done the logo! Of course, the decal on the car doesn't have the words, just the image. I thought that was hilarious!! "
