Message in a Bottle
About 45 years ago while walking the beach behind my grandmother's cottage in Hull, MA, I stumbled across a message in a bottle. It was a clear glass bottle and the screwcap had rusted itself to the neck. I tore back to the cottage at warpspeed, imagining some kid my age was stranded on a desert island and needed my help and I was going to be a hero when he was rescued.
My grandfather took me down into the basement where he worked carefully on loosening the rust then removing the cap. I nearly wet my pants in excitement. We worked the slip of paper out carefully and there it was, in mostly faded handwriting ...
L.S.M.F.T. - Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.
Some lameass schmuck had broken my heart with a freakin' cigarette slogan. I never did become anyone's hero....
