09/09/04’s illustrious band:

Cement Trampoline


Brought to you by a local bank.


While driving to lunch today, my Soup Group cohorts and I spotted the following on a roadside bank marquee:


Life is a cement trampoline

Now what the heck does THAT mean? Possible interpretations:


  • “Life is tough, so give yourself a little cushion.”
  • “The sign slogan guy got downsized, and today was his last day.”
  • “It’s a Zen koan, dude. Think about it. If you figure it out, you’ll hear one hand clapping.”
  • “We’re secretly promoting Bounce fabric softener.”
  • “No more need to wonder where those 100,000 or so trampoline-related injuries per year come from.”
  • “Made you look!”
  • “This is where those ‘retired’ mobsters (the ones with the cement shoes) come to play.”
  • “You should be thankful. When I was your age, we didn’t even have a trampoline.”
  • “Clever? Or creepy? You be the judge.”
  • “You don’t want to bank here until we get our Prozac prescriptions refilled.”


Today around the world: September 9 is Jeune Genevois (Geneva Thanksgiving) in Switzerland.
