A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street. "But officer," the man began, "I can explain" "Just be quiet" snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back." "But officer, I just wanted to say..." "And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!"

A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back." Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."

The first annual SGS Road Trip to Hot Glass Horizons in Corning, New York is coming up, on April 20th to the 24th. HGH is an annual show, (not to be confused with Human Growth Hormone, baseball players we're not) and if you couldn't make this year's trip, we will be going again in the future. So save your pennies! A detailed post-trip report will be posted at some point afterwards.

The Turtles and kat have been put to work with a Label Maker, and have labelled our Stock Bevel Display Case. It's the big wooden thing in the bevel room with all the slots. The large neon sign that screams "Bevels" is on order, but we're not holding our breath on it getting done soon.
