That there is a story that deserves publication on FR!

Around 2001, I made a batch of chicken gumbo. Instead of freezing the surplus, I caned it in quart canning jars. I thought it looked real good.

At that time, my real estate office overlooked a Florida beach. The locals were fighting over lights on the buildings disrupting the nesting sea turtles. These folks were the light bulb gestapo. If you left a light on at night, any light, they would find you and make you shut it off.

My funny bone got the best of me. I went to my computer and created some labels for my glass jars of chicken gumbo. I embellished the labels real good. I labeled it 'Sea Turtle Gumbo' with all the warnings and nutrition labels. I put the jars in the window ledge of the office overlooking the beach. Folks were getting some real good laughs over it.

That is until an environmentalist stumbled on them. I didn't know if I should call an ambulance or paddy wagon to haul her away. She went ballistic and called the turtle cops on me.
