SGT. CORNER:
Its a new AMBUC year and a new herd of SGTs. This week featured Jerry R and Scott P. Scott led off by fining Jeff B for not updating the advertising on one of Luminouss billboards. Something about still having a Budweiser winter scene on display in June. Jeff complained about weak fines, paid his $1, then explained that Mr. Bud (Bob Bush) had not supplied new art for the sign. As usual, Mr. Bud didnt care. Moving on, Scott fined Ryan T for not using his turn signals while hauling the T-shirt equipment back to the warehouse. Tim Davies paid for a reported wild weekend in Oklahoma. Tim and Eric S were both fined for being late.
