BIGFOOT!! Spotted ..... on Jefferson Street And, It May Be Coming for You! You've heard of Bigfoot. He, or she, is also referred to as a Sasquatch. It's said to be an ape-like creature that inhabits the woods and forests of North America. They are also on other continents but have different names. It's called a Yeti in Asia and a Yowie in Australia. There have been many sightings throughout the country, but most of them have been in the southern states where they brew moonshine. A very few of you may think that there is no such thing as Bigfoot. Shame on you. Hundreds and hundreds of people have seen Bigfoot. There are numerous photos of it on the internet. People have made casts of its giant footprints. Maybe that's why they call it Bigfoot. It kills livestock. It screams loudly. And, when you get close to one of them, it smells bad. I mean, really bad. Theodore Roosevelt wrote about Bigfoot. TR didn't see Bigfoot but an acquaintance of his named Bauman did and TR wrote about it. If Teddy Roosevelt wrote about Bigfoot, how can anyone not believe that it exists? You'd better be prepared. Bigfoot has been seen in Joliet. Not the creature but the beer. Yep, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company brews and sells a barleywine style of beer called Bigfoot. And, a bottle of it was recently seen on Jefferson Street. Some wino, err, I mean, underprivileged individual, was walking down Jefferson Street drinking a bottle of Bigfoot beer. That was unusual in that they brew it in North Carolina and only sell it in two states or by mail. The Cambridge (that's in England) Dictionary definition of Bigfoot is "to get much more attention than something or someone, ... becau of being very strong or important." When you read that description, doesn't that remind you of something else? Right. Banks. Especially, big banks. They get much more attention than little banks because they are big banks.
