10. This sign was on the wall of the Green Oaks Motel where we stayed for the Sep 68 ceremony at FW. The USN had cancelled a few weeks before and the sign was gone the next morning. We later found out that GD owned the place and did not appreciate the management's humour!

11.  I doctored the pic and removed the hook and wire and added the caption.  :)
