30 copies and a dozen eggs, please

We are lucky to have a full service print shop here in GroveAtopia. It's not a Kinko's or other chain copy shop. This one is locally owned. We share it with Springfield, where the other shop is located.

But the big shop is here in GroveAtopia and it truly is The Best Little Printhouse in Town. They sell signs, banners, business cards, books, brochures, cookbooks, flyers, door hangers, and regular old copies. And eggs.

What?

Yep. You can walk into the Best Little Printhouse and for $2.50, get a dozen eggs along with your print order. Or you could get 18 eggs for $3.75. It says so right there on the door.

Apparently they do a lively egg business because when I was in there today, they were fresh out of eggs. Someone had just come in and bought several dozen.

Now I don't know about you, but I like it that these two incongruous items co-exist in this store. It doesn't make a bit of sense from a marketing point of view, but that doesn't seem to matter. People come to the Best Little Printhouse in Town to buy their eggs, and I say, why not?
