Scan this sentence and tell me if you really read it right the first time.

Lettering on shop window in Handel Gothic reads: All merchandise has been moved to our Vaughan Mills location at 1 Bass Pro Mills Drive

Don’t you think l and I should be a wee bit different? Plus: Got enough copies of the word “Mills” at the ends of lines?

What do you think the original phone number was, and how nice do you think the numerals looked?

Yes, Guild Electric trucks are emblazoned in Baker Signet (also Frutiger and a few other fonts). A bit poncey for guys who ride cherrypickers up to fix your traffic lights, don’t you think?

Ontario minister of health George Smitherman was seen ambling among the throng pre–Pride. Unlike the last time I saw him – at Woody’s, where he held deep discussions with a young constituent on matters of mutual interest – I carpéd the diem.

Me
– Does that ring mean you aren’t single anymore?
George
– Oh, I’m always single!
[Holds out the giant bling, reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright’s brooches, but almond-shaped and gold]
– I’ve worn this for, oh [exhales], 21 years?
– Ah. Because I’ve always found you attractive, but when you became minister of health, I figured you’d be too busy.
– I’m married to my work!
– Yeah. I’d be the other woman.
– I’ve got 45 minutes a day to myself!
– And here we are.

I blink and the minister of health disappears. “He looks a bit drunk. Or high,” I tell my esteemed colleague.

“And fat,” he replies.

“Stocky.”
