Johnson City, TN. As I recall, back in the 40s and 50s there was a novelty company in Johnson City.....they put out a big thick catalog that was packed with every kind of gag and trick....from whooopee cushions to cigarette loads.

I have never heard of that; but you have aroused my curiosity.

You got me on that one. Didn’t spend all that much time there growing up since I was an Army brat. Next time I’m home will have ask around.

My little six volt brain remembered JOHNSON SMITH. Try this: www.johnsonsmith.com
It seems it’s gotten even BIGGER over the years.
Thanx for the reply.

Could you mean the Johnson Smith Company? They were never in Johnson City, but yes, they’re still around.

Whoops! I should have read a little further along the thread.

With his resume, how could he possibly have failed to win a rat primary?

He not only lost but he lost to a Conservative DEM. More Conservative really than Corker. LOL The Democratic party nearly had a meltdown over it. LOL.
