Found Art

Oh my goodness my hard drive has died again. I’ve replaced it once already — less than two months ago! — and it looks like I’ll be replacing it again. Apple, you baffle me.

So there’s no sketch today, or tomorrow, either, though they’ll be up as soon as I get the hardware replaced. Thankfully everything important’s backed up.

In the meantime, enjoy this note that I found in our breakroom, being held down by a bar of soap:

Holy moly we got us a germ fighter, here.
You can bet your bottom dollar this bacteria
fighter that comes in this little bar of soap
is next to a miracle. In order to keep germs
from multiplying you got to fight it with a
vengence, because if you don’t and it gets
the upper hand, lord, god we’ll have a
problem. When people buy my soap I watch them
walk away and I think to myself, there goes a
person that really cares.

Most of my receipe’s are handed down, some
I’ve picked up and wrote down. My grandpa
ALWAYS SAYS IF YOU CAN’T PRONOUNCE IT DON’T
FORGET IT, JUST PUT IT OUT OF MY MIND, your mind
and everyone else’s too. This bomber has six
herbs, SELF HEAL, COMFRY, pure ALOE VERA PLANT,
thyme, chamomile and sandlewood. All these are
healers unilke what comes out of a can that
sprays things that when inhaled or sometimes
touched make you and the envirement sick.
The reason I make these kinds of soaps is if
you put your arm under a telescope and see for
yourself what’s on your body just by everyday
life, you’d probably fill your pants right then
and there, just from shock. The only thing
all of us can do is in are own little way is
to use things that will fight germs, bacteria
sickness. Wouldn’t it be nice not to be
sick or not feeling your best when all you
have to do is your best and doing that is
useing the best.

“MY SECRET POTION”
?

There’s a signature:

All spelling and grammar has been left as it was, but I’ve normalized the capitalization, since the note was written in a mix of block letters and printing that would mAkE thIS nOtE looK LikE tOrGo had written it.

I can’t tell you how finding this has made my day. It’s like a gift! It is a gift!

  1. Ever been to foundmagazine.com?
    A whole website of things that people find. How fantastic. You should post this note there.

  2. I would submit it, but I don't have a scanner, sadly, nor access to one, and the look of the note is at least as interesting as the note itself.
