While driving or motorcycling through Mapleton, a small hamlet south-east of London, I always glance at the intriguing sign below.
Will it still be there? I wonder.
What does the owner of the shop love to do more? Stuff a racoon? Stir cheddar curds?
What course did he take at the local college to prepare himself for both professions?
Does he ever get mixed up with an order?
"You did a great job on my old pet dog, Herm."
"Yup. Sparkie was a winner."
"But what's that smell?"
"You said Sparkie liked gouda, right?"

Anything else come to mind?

One has to wonder if certain cheeses are assigned to certain animals. Who is sharp cheddar and who monterey jack?

i wondered the same thing.

Ha! I have loved this sign for years... remark on it often and people normally don't believe it exists (I think they have a billboard somewhere too).
I figure a mouse got into the cheese and is now stuffed in more ways than one...
Also reminds me of a place in South Dakota http://www.walldrug.com/. Its absolutely bizarre and advertised on highway signs across the state. They have a fine collection of taxidermed animals wearing cowboy outfits and having a ho-down. Worth the drive to SD :)
And I'm a vegetarian?
