Jody's Jam of the Week

There’s an old German proverb that says “a sack full of fleas is easier to watch than a woman.” Makes you think, huh? Well, it made me think. Long and hard. And after I got done thinking long and hard, I forgot what I was thinking about in the first place. In fact, all I succeeded in doing was get a headache. So, to remedy my ailment, I’m going to do a little therapeutic shopping at the DC Big Flea this Saturday. No, there’s no underlying meaning to that. The DC Big Flea is the mid-Atlantic’s largest antique sale held four times a year at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly. Two 107,000-square-foot buildings house over 1,000 booths with dealers selling anything and everything. Looking for the perfect trinket for your den or study? Or perhaps you want a new conversation piece to debut at your next raging kegger? Well, give the Big Flea a shot. But, while you’re roaming the aisles of treasures this weekend, just remember this old Spanish proverb: “The wolf picks up the ass’s fleas by moonlight.” Think about it. Think about it long and hard.
