LVRJ: Gimme a D: Fitzgeralds taps new name for rebranding

"The D"???

I suppose they are the experts, but....this new name sounds like an Abbot
and Costello routine to me:

"I heard Fitzgerald changed its name. What's it called now?"
"D".
"The what?"
"The D".
"The the what?"
"No, the D".
"Are you stuttering?
"No, it's just D...as in Detroit."
"What's a troit?"

Cherish it folks. This doesn't happen often anymore. good old Fashioned Lodestone satire! For you youngsters, this was the way it was in the "olden days" - before people obsessed over game codes and the like....

Jigger

"When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes
the neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain
and gag himself."

"You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older.
Little things like being spanked every day by a middle aged
woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life."

"Riding a bike is like having sex -
You don't need any special clothing, but you can get some
if you are really into it."

Been a long time since we have heard from you, John! Good to read your take on the new "D". Now, everytime I hear the name I will think first of you, then Abbott and Costello.
Cheers!

It'll fit right in with "The M" and "TI".
