Where are the Lighthouses?
Published Jan 01, 1900
I live in Texas. I have two friends that are sisters. One day, they approached me and asked where the lighthouses were.
When I tried to probe a little bit, I was told, "Yeah, they're good paying jobs and have lots of ads in the paper, but we don't know where the lighthouses are to apply."
I told them, "There are no lighthouses in Texas. Let me see that newspaper."
Sure enough, there were ads for . . . "Light Housekeeping needed. Apply in person."
