The ice just went out of the Mississippi River behind my house and I was walking along the bank when I saw the neck of a bottle sticking out of the mud. It looked really old and had a smooth top with an old rotten cork in it.

I carefully pulled it out of the mud and I was really excited because clearly this was an antique bottle. I started wiping it off and got even more excited when I realized it had a paper inside of it.

I managed to get the cork worked out of the top of the bottle then used a stick to try to get the paper out. I finally got a corner of the paper worked up to where I could pull on it and slowly pulled the old paper out of the bottle to read the note.

It said, "We have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."

I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

So they were at it even before cell phones. Now I don't feel so bad! Did not know the larger cities in MN were north on the Mississippi years ago. Learn something new every day.
