When travelling in New Orleans, perhaps you've seen a billboard or a bumper sticker with the phrase "You can't beat Wagner's Meat". Wagner's Meat, a small convenience chain with its most prominent gas station/meat market on South Claiborne and MLK, isn't just known for their bumperstickers, but also for their Chicken Box fast food joints (Tastes like Mama's!) and their "inspirational" marquee boards in front of every store. Unfortunately, the link to have the quotes emailed to you on a regular basis is broken, but if you go to the front page of Wagner's Meat, there's a new one on the bottom of the page each time...

Platform gives way, aquarium tourists dumped into shark tank. I don't know about any of you, but my pants would've been full before I hit water.

If they're not chasing terrorists, just what are they doing? Eavesdropping on a New Orleans cathouse, apparently.
