A friend of mine from L.I.F.B.A is bringing me to a friend of his that will put the strips on my car for me. He is chaging me a 100.00 bucks to do it. I figure that sounds good. I really don't wanna be bothered with doing them myself, rather just let someone else do it. Hope everyone is well. Have a gr8 weekened.

Do you mean stripes?

That reminds me of something that happened when I was still a Jersey Trooper. My sergeant at the time was a taxidermist and the guy who caught the world record striped bass (right off a jetty in Atlantic City) brought it to Walt to have it mounted. Walt (my sgt) did the mount and as the guy was donating the fish to the museum at the Marine Mammal Stranding Station in Brigantine, he had the fish mounted on a nice wooden plaque with a brass plate for the inscription. Walt was very proud that his work was being so displayed, so he took me to the museum right away to show me. It was beautifully mounted, but there was just one problem. The brass plate identified the fish as the world record "stripped" bass. I asked Walt what exactly a stripped bass was and it was then that he realized that he'd spelled striped wrong. Needless to say, it didn't take him long to replace the plate!
