Back in the late 80's there was a spectacular case of procrastination in Washago, a very small place north of Orillia, Ontario. A BIG sign was put up on a vacant lot near the main street(actually, the only street, more or less...) of Washago.

The sign said "Quetton Place - a modern 12-unit mall - Opening SOON!". It stood there for years and years. I was tempted after the first 3 years to creep out in the middle of the night, and paint the word "fairly", before "SOON".

Further modifications would have gone...

1992 - cross out "fairly soon" and replace it with "not so soon".

1993 - "in a while"

1994 - "eventually"

1995 - "someday"

1996 - "maybe never"

1997 - "this century"

1999 - "maybe next century?"

2000 - "Oh, FORGET IT!!!"

They eventually did take the sign down and there is now simply a vacant lot at the edge of Washago.

I say we award the whole town of Washago a free membership in our club-to-be.
