"I'll take subversion"
This delightful LA Times article (found by way of Prentiss Riddle's blog) chronicles a decade-long pun war between a Houston restaurateur and the neighboring Pappadeaux's seafood chain restaurant.
Every time Pappadeaux's changed their marquee, the neighboring Khyber North Indian Grill answered with a clever riposte. To "Hiring Today 3-5" they retorted "My, You Do Start Them Young".
"Come Try Our Stuffed Flounder" "On What Charge?"
"Your Secretary Will Love Our Blackened Tuna" "As They Say, Love Is Blind."
Perhaps most amusing, however, is the tale of proprietor Kapoor's citizenship interview, which I leave you to savor for yourself.
