Driving around Brainerd, Minnesota today, I encountered this health-conscious bowling Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Note that Babe is conscientiously advertising a smoke-free bowling area. He is also eating bowling pins the size of small children.
ps--still working on getting the comments back.
