The Writing on the Wall: Nobody Becomes Famous in Des Moines

Writing on the Wall.  Des Moines. Factually Incorrect. 
Funny nonetheless.
More writing on the wall. Read it. Compliments of Manhattan Mini Storage. 

Love this sign, however, I actually have to say that the above statement is somewhat inaccurate, as I have a friend who lives in Des Moines and recently became officially famous. Frequently makes the rounds on the news circuit, such as CNBC's Power Lunch and (albeit somewhat begrudgingly) Fox News. 

I'd like to share the following laugh out loud sarcastic quote which followed shortly after said friend's new found stardom: 

"My narcissism is now completely out of control. I am intolerable to lower social classes of people such as yourself.  You should feel lucky to even know me at this point."  Classic case of fame gone to head. 

So there you have it, folks. An old fashioned American dream made into reality. Right there in Des Moines, IA.  Cause if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere...Here's hoping we all might be as fortunate to make it big time.  Into the big leagues.  Living the dream.  One day at a time.  Just like my now famous friend (or quite possibly infamous at this point), from Des Moines. Cheers and good luck to ya!  And start spreading the news with the following classic.  But maybe insert Des Moines in place of New York for a few refrains, just for good measure.
