Found. Owned.

 So, Guess what I found at a yard sale? Hint. One of these things is not like the other.

Alright, it's not an intelligence test already. The Sun shot glass was actually an afterthought. I found the Georgia Corn bottle because I wanted to send it to my brother. I'm from Georgia, and he still lives there, and we used to find tacky little souvenirs like this amusing when we were 6 and 8 years old. I knew he'd get a kick out of it. The melon guy--well he's just strange--and the woman at the yard sale didn't want to charge me a full fifty cents for both of these items. She only let me pay a quarter. Then, as I was turning to leave, she said "If you see anything else on that table you like, just take it with you." It was past three on a Sunday, and the yard sale was winding down. Anything left would be taken to the dump.

Then I saw something fully that had gotten my attention in a distant way, but I'd ignored it. I see so many items with the Sun logo on them, that I barely noticed the Sun shotglass. Actually the blue glass has a little class, but I was amazed that a random yard sale should have Sun swag on the table and that the swag should be, well, a shot glass. I did as she asked and scooped it up off the table. It's Sun, after all, but its  bedfellows are a little odd.
