Label With A Hidden Message
By Bryan Johnson

CLALLAM COUNTY - A Port Angeles bag maker is experiencing a huge jump in sales, and it's all the result of what's written on the care and washing instruction label.

The laptop and coat bags made at Tom Bihn's may be top quality, but it's the care label that helped the business take off after it was spotted and reported on the internet.

On the French side of the washing instructions there's some additional words which translate: "it concerns me that our President is an idiot, but I didn't vote for him."

3. God bless this man!
Port Angeles isn't exactly a hotbed of liberalism. I'm sure he'll get some harrassment from the locals over this.

I wonder how many French speaking Canadians have purchased his products? (Port Angeles has a ferry to Victoria BC - in fact it was the PA ferry terminal where terrorist Ahmed Rassam was busted in 1999, which put an end to possible Millenial terror events on the west coast)
