We received 121 entries correctly identifying last month’s Fake Ad, including this one from Linda Bankauskas: “I found the Fake Ad for Washtenaw County Allergy Specialists on page 93 of the September issue. I thought your use of last month’s winner’s name was brilliant–I’m sure Mr. Goldenberg will forgive you for referring to him as a weed!” Much as we like being called brilliant, we hope, for obvious reasons, that Bankauskas never wins.
“I sincerely hope you weren’t to reinforce the myth that goldenrod causes allergies,” chided frequent Fake Adder Carol Mousigian. “They don’t. But people see goldenrod when their allergies start and make that very erroneous association. Which is what the evil ragweed wants you to do. And YOU are playing right into its hands.” Ragweed has hands? Now that is a scary thought.
Speaking of frequent Fake Adders, our Tessa Roth is now a two-time winner. She won our drawing in January of 2014 and again this month. This time, she’s taking her gift certificate to Northstar Bank.
