One of these things is not like the other at Siggy’s
I’d been to Siggy’s many times, but yesterday my friend Virginia pointed to a sign that I had never noticed before. Then I noticed something else. The zinger is commendable, but can you spot the ringer? (Or, more precisely, what’s wrong with this picture?) Still, the salmon burger was to die for. Share this Story: […]
